Comus - The Herald lyrics

rate me

As a single star glides swiftly down the night

A soft wetting note issues from the time-worn flute

Frowning slightly the herald listens wistful across the night

And from way back behind the day comes the echoed answer

The day advances oh so softly his shadow lengthens and his voice is mute

But clear his flute and sadly walks forward followed by the day

Herald of morning walks across the earth eternally

Oh

Aah

And somewhere in the black distance

Another herald puts down his flute

And the dewy dawn creeps on

And the night withdraws

The day advances oh so softly his shadow lengthens and his voice is mute

But clear his flute and sadly walks forward followed by the day

Herald of morning walks across the earth eternally

Oh, oh

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laa

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-laa
