lyrics

To one side of the house there lies a field

To the other stands a statue part-concealed

By an old and overhanging apple tree

With branches bowed and bended by the breeze


And oh

When you get real close

Oh

You can see there frozen in its place

A sculpted face

And one bronze arm

Raised


It’s the figure of a small and laughing child

With a mess of curly hair grown free and wild

Every part of him is reaching to the sky

And from his outstretched hand, a bird about to fly


Oh

When the moon hangs low

Oh

And the last clouds go

You see the stars

Thousands of stars

And you smile

And raise your arm
