Their Song Songtext
von Kevin Johnson

The world was young and no bird sung, And no man wandered the land
And the only sound was the restless
Wind, And the waves that washed on the sand
And was there something moving, Like a great bird over the land
Was it shining bright in the sunlight, As it silently came down?

And did they run, did they run,
In the strange hot sun on the lonely edge of the sea
Did they stand and look at this
Lonely world, And wonder what it might be
Did they fly, back into the sky?


Black as the light of a starless
Night, Was the cloud that covered the sky
And down from the hill, the night was still

Where the summer grasses were high

And it shone like a light, so the farmer said
And it never made a sound
And it came in over the valley, And it landed there on the ground

Do they come, do they come,
When it seems no-one is ever likely to know
On the darkened side of some lonely
Road, Do they stand there watching us go
Do they fly, back into the sky?
