I shall not sing a May song.
A May song should be gay.
I'll wait until November
And sing a song of gray.

The songbirds of the air listened in wonder to this song, the most beautiful song of life.

That blackbirds sing at dusk,
This is a song of colour,
Where sands sing in crimson, red and rust,
Then climb into bed and turn to dust.

Sing us a song tonight.
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feeling alright.
