the thrush’s anvil lyrics
[verse 1]
our master has a-courting gone
our mistress up above
and she has asked him for a gift
as a token of his love
he’s ventured forth across the land
spreading seeds of his own demise
through wind and rain his voice will strain
as he seeks a worthy prize
[chorus]
singing high, low
the tune that we know
to the hammer of sh-ll on stone
come, come
the search has begun
the thrush’s anvil rings alone
[verse 2]
he’s found a church up on the downs
of suss-x diamond built
he’s asked the father for a sign
but he’s given naught but guilt
by that church was an old yew tree
with rubies it was blessed
he’s taken one for his own true love
to treasure in her nest
[chorus]
singing high, low
the tune that we know
to the hammer of sh-ll on stone
come, come
the search has begun
the thrush’s anvil rings alone
[verse 3]
he’s flown through seven countries
and to their monarchs sung
to beg exotic presents
he’s studied every tongue
but nothing for our mistress
save a berry black as coal
he’s taken from the elders
as an incidental toll
[chorus]
singing high, low
the tune that we know
to the hammer of sh-ll on stone
come, come
the search has begun
the thrush’s anvil rings alone
[verse 4]
he’s met her at the trysting tree
among the woodland glades
he’s found his miss a mistletoe kiss
just as the daylight fades
this trinity of gems he’s brought
of black and white and red
lie gleaming in the moonlight
all upon miss thrush’s bed
[chorus]
singing high, low
the tune that we know
to the hammer of sh-ll on stone
come, come
the search has begun
the thrush’s anvil rings alone
[verse 5]
the stormc-ck’s call beckons one and all
to the shelter of safer boughs
for the tempest’s nigh, the water’s high
and dark are the evening clouds
and dark are the evening clouds…
[chorus]
singing high, low
the tune that we know
to the hammer of sh-ll on stone
come, come
the search has begun
the thrush’s anvil rings alone
[chorus]
singing high, low
the tune that we know
to the hammer of sh-ll on stone
come, come
the search has begun
the thrush’s anvil rings alone
