The Dawn Chorus on Tape (Acoustic)

He wakes before the sun comes up

Leaves the sleeping house to collect more sound

He stands in reverence under towering trees

Tall as houses

Did you ever imagine

A world without seeing it

As the night came in he was listening

To a universe magnetized

He heard everything

It came with a fading light

Bringing familiar rooms into shadow now

He tapes every morning all the risen sounds

With this wow and flutter

Did you ever imagine

A world without seeing it

As the night came in he was listening

To a universe magnetized

He heard everything

As the dark came down he was listening

To a thousand dawns caught before

He heard everything
