Instrumental intro
Verse 1
The boy will come no more
Although I listen and long;
The sound of his foot on the floor
Was like an old song.
Instrumental riff
Chorus
Like the song of the lark or linnet,
That's singing early and soon,
His foot had the music in it
Like an old tune.
Instrumental pause
Verse 2
His foot had the music in it,
And now the music's dumb -
Like the song of the lark or linnet
Glad that Spring's come.
instrumental riff
Bridge - quiet, different and minimal vibe
There's nothing stirring at all,
'Tis quiet all by yourself,
But a wee mouse in the wall,
The clock ticks on the shelf.
clock ticking sounds
Short Instrumental pause
Outro chorus, ritardando
Like the song of the Lark or linnet,
That's singing early and soon,
His foot had the music in it
Like an old tune.
Final short outro
End
