Reverse Traverse Blues

listen to the sound 
  somebody's working 
  come on in the house 
  that I have been building 

  I sing to drown out the sorrows 
  and I work to forget about the murder of crows 

  a blue tit sings 
  a blue tit shouts 
  when anger comes 
  or troubles are about 

  hollow is the home 
  that shakes by thunder 
  they say that wisdom tore 
  this tree asunder 

  I work though I know no tomorrow 
  for I realize love is only borrowed 

  a blue tit sings 
  a blue tit shouts 
  when anger comes 
  or troubles are about 

  enter - the red kite
