Bread & Fishes Songtext
von Alan Bell

As I was a walking
One morning in spring
I met with some travelers
In an old country lane
One was an old man
The second a maid
The third was a young boy
Who smiled as he said
With the wind in the willows
And the birds in the sky
There′s a bright sun to warm us
Wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes
And a jug of red wine
To share on our journey
With all of mankind
So I sat down beside them
Whith the flowers all around
And we ate on a mantel
Spread out on the ground


They told me of pupils
And prophets and kings
And all of the one God
Who knows everything
With the wind in the willows
And the birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us
Wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes
And a jug of red wine
To share on our journey
With all of mankind
So I asked them to tell me
Their names and their race
Cause I might remember
Their kindness and grace.
My name it is Joseph,
This is Mary my wife
And this is our young son,
Who is our delight
With the wind in the willows
And the birds in the sky
There′s a bright sun to warm us
Wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes
And a jug of red wine
To share on our journey
With all of mankind
We travel the wild world,
By land and by sea
To tell all the people
How they might be free
With the wind in the willows
And the birds in the sky
There's a bright sun to warm us
Wherever we lie
We have bread and fishes
And a jug of red wine
To share on our journey
With all of mankind
