The Days

Rain’s tap , tap-tapping through the old barn roof 
Should have fixed it long ago when the sun was shining through
Everything has stopped no contrails cross the sky
The shadows deepen slowly - as the days go by

The soil warms up slowly whilst the world is fast asleep
Primroses bloom on the bank; can you hear the last lamb’s bleat?
It’s silent at the crossroads , and a tear comes to my eye
The shadows lengthen everywhere as these days go by

I’ve got to be strong, got to be brave, got to get a message to you
You’ve got to strive for something when there’s nothing you can do

There’s a lonely figure on the road that I think I recognise
Every day seems just the same beneath these cobalt skies
If I had a boat I’d row it, if I had wings I’d fly 
The shadows darken the valley as these days go by
