lyrics

Black rook lands on a wide red tile
Looks to the trees and waits for a while
For the last of the light to escape from the sky
And take a flight to the Buckenham wood

Up from the field and turning the fen
Once round the tower and once round again
Close to the river and a long way back
The rooks fly black - to the rook wood

Owl still sitting on the roof of the barn
Chestnut trees and a berry on a branch
Two claws turning catching the moon
The birds fly black - to the rook wood
The birds fly back to Buckenham wood
