[Verse 1]
Who is like my child
Who’s so lovely and wild?
Oh, my little bird
By the river I have heard

[Chorus]
My lover calls
In fall and spring
She says
Keep your eyes on heron’s wings
She’s coming soon
Let’s dance and sing
For the joy a new life brings

[Verse 2]
Strong and graceful, too
Like your mother
In red and blue
Love I never knew
Filled my heart
When I held you

[Chorus] (2x)
My lover calls
In fall and spring
She says
Keep your eyes on heron’s wings
She’s coming soon
Let’s dance and sing
For the joy that her life brings
