lyrics

Watching Wildlife
We wander down the river, with our fishing rods and bags
We watch the peat stained water, looking for a fish rise
We cast the runs with Snipe and Purple and an old March Brown
Goosanders take off flying south now, spraying gold and
silver on the sky

We watch the wildlife, but what’s the wildlife
There’s only one life, our life is our own
We live our life, with the wild life
We and the wildlife share this life as one

I miss a grayling on a Greenwell, and a trout on an Olive Dun
Ingleborough floats high beyond us, shimmering in the haze
Pigeons sound softly in the woodlands, a heron unfolds it’s canvas wings
A kingfisher sparks blue lightening across the darkness beneath the trees

We stroll slowly back upstream, way back up towards Cow Bridge
We pick wild mushrooms, mint and blackberries and make up a flood wood fire
Ollie runs wild across the grassland throwing paper planes to the sun
Later we walk back home on Flatts Lane, and it stones me just like Van
