Wing Beat Fantastic Lyrics

Wing Beat Fantastic
Soaring past the morning star
Shining candle cake you are
Wing Beat Fantastic
Lift me with a laughing sound
Off the marble-cold dead ground

I hear you in your back yard
Sing across to mine

Rising here and diving there
Finding things for your brown hair
Grow your garden in the air
With chimney smoke for ribbons fair
Come and nest with me

Wing Beat Fantastic
Hide and seek, behind a cloud
Sneak a peek and chime out loud
Wing Beat Fantastic
Pile up your sticks and play
Come and build a house one day

I see you in your front yard
Gathering feathers fine Diving here and rising there
Where the other birds don't dare
Song a smile, to slice the pear
If you'd be prepared to share

Spinning on this speckled egg
I'd beg you if you've any time
To spend and lend me just your hand
And sling me to the sun

Wing Beat Fantastic
Wing Beat Fantastic

I want you in my back yard
Tucking twigs and twine

Rising here and diving there
We'll vanish, make 'em wonder where
Both evading cat and snare
Emigrate to regions rare
Come and nest with me

Then the earthbound crowd will cry
And watch us fly away
