Silent Sunlight Lyrics
Silent sunlight, welcome in
There is work I must now begin
All my dreams have blown away
And the children want to play
They'll soon remember things to do
When the heart is young
And the night is done
And the sky is blue
Morning songbird, sing away
Lend a tune to another day
Bring your wings and choose a roof
Sing a song of love and truth
We'll soon remember if you do
When all things were tall
And our friends were small
And the world was new
Sleepy horses, heave away
Put your backs to the golden hay
Don't ever look behind at the work you've done
For your work has just begun
There'll be the evening in the end
but till that time arrives
You can rest your eyes
And begin again
There is work I must now begin
All my dreams have blown away
And the children want to play
They'll soon remember things to do
When the heart is young
And the night is done
And the sky is blue
Lend a tune to another day
Bring your wings and choose a roof
Sing a song of love and truth
We'll soon remember if you do
When all things were tall
And our friends were small
And the world was new
Put your backs to the golden hay
Don't ever look behind at the work you've done
For your work has just begun
There'll be the evening in the end
but till that time arrives
You can rest your eyes
And begin again

I think it's about how people lose their childhood innocence and freedom as they get older and work, and they're so busy they don't even remember what it was like. I don't know what "morning songbird" is supposed to represent, but it's song is a reminder of those times. "We'll soon remember if you do When all things were tall And our friends were small And the world was new" Also in the third verse it touches on how we can work hard all our life and resist temptations, but eventually our time will run out and we won't have made use of our time, maybe to just play.
@katherine22 morning song bird is a reference of how while we appreciate the effort, we are too busy working to listen to birds . he is asking the bird to return on a day that he can enjoy it unfettered by the daily grind. It's is a songvas you pointed out, about the things we noticed as children that we no longer take the time to notice.

I have always loved this song, and cannot BELIEVE no1 has mentioned anything about it yet!
There are so many songs out there about LOVE this and LOVE that!, so its always great to hear songs about other things too. This one is about the working day, from waking up in the morning, thru the day, until the evening, and the realisation that tomorrow you have to do it all over again.
Its a lovely well written and simple song great to sing along to, and even good as just a stand-alone poem.
