lyrics

Sun barely rising above the horizon
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown
Flowers are withering, naked bark brittle oh,
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown

Good folk are gonna die, sun-god ain't shedding tears
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown
And I just stare at the sky, digging the graves each year
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown

Sun, sailing away
I don't know where… I don’t know why…
Sky, darkening grey,
Wishing there weren’t so many goodbyes...
little one, little one why...
little one why...

(sixteen bars of Cello solo)

Maybe if we looked a while and found a stone
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown
Dragged it a hun-der-ed miles and got it home
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown

We could dig us a henge, raise those bluestones up high
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown
In two hundred years we could look at the sky
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown

And our children would know when the winter was coming, oh
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown
Looking and laboring, doing what must be done
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown

Sun, sailing away
I don't know where… I don’t know why…
Sky, darkening grey,
Wishing there weren’t so many goodbyes...

And maybe some good folk are still going to die
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown

Their mothers shake helpless with rage and denial
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown

But maybe it might be less deep of a sorrow
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown

Not quite so many graves dug up tomorrow
Little one, little one, bitter wind blown
