Grey Herons

Herons flew above me in the morning light

Giant shadows fell down on me

And misty waves sounded in my ears

They still echo in my mind

Baby, once in a while

As my eyesight fails

And all the colors range

Between tones of gray

I recall that sound

And i wish i was

In that morning light

Where the herons fly

The creek and i have aged

The herons are all gone

Grey and white, they don't fly here

But as i stare through the rising dawn

They're still vivid in my mind

Baby once in a while

I can hardly see

Through my memories

It's like a crazy dream

I once had of dying

And i wish i was

In that morning light

In the morning light

In the morning light

I wish i was

In the morning light

As the years come tumbling down

I wonder if i'll hear the sound

Of the grey herons flight

In the morning lig¬ht
