Pink Floyd
Grantchester Meadows (Live BBC Radio Session, 12 May 1969)
[Verse 1]
Icy wind of night be gone, this is not your domain
In the sky a bird is heard to cry
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
Belied the deathly silence that lay all around

[Chorus]
Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
A river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea

[Verse 2]
In the lazy water meadow, I lay me down
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into my city room

[Chorus]
Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
A river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea
