After The Fire - He Pretended Not To Hear lyrics

rate me

The Night Birds and the Birds Of Morning

Sang together for a spell

Till the Night Birds song became a warning

A warning they knew all too well

Morning would be coming soon

They flew off toward the Winter Moon

And they followed her down as down she fell

They followed her down as down she fell

How far down I'll never tell

Followed her down as down she fell

As down she fell she called out to him

"Aren't you cold without me dear?"

Her silver tongue sent shivers through him

He pretended not to hear

But she knew him like no others did

She knew where all his hurt was hid

He followed her down but he never got near

He followed her down but he never got near

He had no hope and he had no fear

He followed her down but he never got near

When the Sun King rose that afternoon

he looked like he had been through hell

All night he'd chased that Winter Moon

Ask him why, he could not tell

But when she finally turned to him

We all saw his light grow dim

And he followed her down as down she fell

He followed her down as down she fell

How far down I'll never tell

He followed her down as down she fell

So fly away home you Birds Of Morning

fly away all you Night Birds too

Or all your songs will die a'borning

All except this mournful tune

about the Sun King and the Winter Moon

the Sun King and the Winter Moon
