lyrics

Nightjar calls out the numbers of the days
And the children rise from the wreckage of the plane
And in the long grass bruised bruised by the storm
They sleep in open arms

Memories flee down the years and the days
With sweet release like birds from a cage
And old men stand in the darkening hall
And wait for the nightjar's call

The rumours will fly til the engines die
And the sky burns away
The wolf in disguise with a grandmother's eyes
Plays the same old games

Nightjar calls out the numbers of the days
For the fools and kings who will never be again
So take your place in line against the wall
And wait for the nightjar's call

A snow white feather for your bravery
A broken arrow of desire
A silver medal for your memories
And a house on fire

A snow white lily for your tragedy
A broken arrow of desire
The nightjar will call you from your reverie
And lead you on dancing

On and on to an ancient rhythm
