night on the hillside

night on the hillside

    a path of diamonds in the velvet sky
    out in the bush we look above in awe
    the magic is apparent to each eye

    nightbirds alarming as they pass us by
    shocking the silence every raucous caw
    a path of diamonds in the velvet sky

    the world in calm and stillness does not lie
    we hear near us the skittering of small paw
    the magic is apparent to each eye

    the brilliant stars are so clear and so high
    we will on them the shapes of mouth and claw
    a path of diamonds in the velvet sky

    the old man is amazed we are so spry
    his wisdom is summed up in an old saw
    the magic is apparent to each eye

    we've learned the things that no one can deny
    and find we're subject to a constant law
    a path of diamonds in the velvet sky
    the magic is apparent to each eye
