lyrics

The good book says three score and ten
Is the span of life for all mortal men
And if you'd asked to see what's to come
From, your birthday, your first day
Would you do the same again?

A dragonfly has days to live his life
As he flashes by on his cobalt cathedral flight
Do you think he dreams of future scenes
In the riverside sunshine
Or does he live just for the light?

The church bells are sadly tolling
And the worn pages are turning
The fields are gently rolling
And the funeral pyres are burning
I can hear people talking
I can see figures walking
And I know the leaves are falling
And the Blackbird is softly calling

So Look around and see all that's gone
Cut down like corn as it shines in the sun
Are you asking why they passed you by
On the shore side, ebb tide
Before the race was run?

The church bells are sadly tolling
And the worn pages are turning
The fields are gently rolling
And the funeral pyres are burning
I can hear people talking
I can see figures walking
I know the leaves are falling
And the Blackbird is softly calling

So lay me down in fields of green
When everything I've ever known loved or seen
Has flown away on silent wings
Like a moonbeam, daydream
Too brief and fine to have ever been

The church bells are sadly tolling
And the worn pages are turning
The fields are gently rolling
And the funeral pyres are burning
I can hear people talking
I can see figures walking
I know the leaves are falling
And the Blackbird is softly calling
And the Blackbird is softly calling
