At the dawn the sun it shone
You know the day had just begun
And the birds were all in song
At the start of the Spring
And Earnest played guitar
Under the redwoods in the park
He was trying to win the hearts
Of the songbirds who sing
Well Mary sat down with Earnest and she closed her eyes
And as she sang away she could feel a spark inside
And at dusk the sun it hid
You know the day had reached its end
And the birds had all but fled
To the freshwater springs
And Earnest played guitar
With Mary playing the harp
He had finally won the heart
Of a songbird who sings
Of a songbird who sings
Of a songbird who sings
Of a songbird who sings
Of a songbird who sings
