Earth Shanty (2013 Remastered Version) - The Groundhogs[00:00:00]
Skyward fly the eagles as the hawks search out their prey[00:02:26]
Seaward fly the seagulls catching[00:02:34]
Fish beneath the spray[00:02:38]
For their young amongst the shingle[00:02:43]
To feed them for the day[00:02:46]
Look back on this and linger seeking[00:02:51]
Thoughts of yesterday[00:02:55]
I recall all the scenes forgotten[00:02:58]
Dreams of pastures green[00:03:03]
Grey clouds all day provide a screen[00:03:09]
From the sun that parched the[00:03:17]
Land and robbed the sea[00:03:20]
Left the dried-up burnt-out sand[00:03:26]
And the moon mirror of the sun[00:04:17]
Night-light of the world[00:04:21]
Drags a blanket of cooling sea[00:04:25]
Across the sand in furls[00:04:29]
In the night when the stars provide[00:04:33]
A reason for man to strive[00:04:36]
He reasons that's the reason he's alive[00:04:41]
Let the stars in the firmament remain as bait[00:05:29]
For the people whose only wish is to[00:05:38]
Leave their home let them wait[00:05:42]
Their impatience is only matched by a[00:05:46]
Misunderstanding of their fate[00:05:50]
Let them get their priorities straight[00:05:54]
