Golden was the bird I knew,
Sang a song so free then flew,
And they won't come back,
Can't come back.

Golden was the bird long gone,
Sang a little while, flew on,
And they won't come back,
Can't come back.

Yeah, I woke one morning, long time gone,
A magpie’d come to steal away my song,
Was up against the window yeah tapping on the pane,
But it couldn't get in, no, kept calling my name.

Golden was the bird,
And they won't come back.

I'm a working man,
And I've got working hands,
And I've worked the land for ages, hmm.

But the toll this life has taken,
Is a back that’s always aching,
And if my scars could tell their tales,
It'd take a long, long time,
You'd hear about broken bones and splinters.

Yeah, tankard ales and long dark winters,
A laureate who’s not worried at the rhyme.

Oh but when the rain comes down,
I stop the rain from falling on the ground.

I'm a working man,
And I've got working hands,
I've worked the land for ages, hmm,
For ages, hmm.

WEATHER GIRL
I see her twice a day
She's always right on time
How is she dressed today
It's always a surprise
She's my weather girl
Ruling all my world
She's talking'bout the rain
Sometimes she's telling lies
She rearrange the day
And rearrange the sky
She's my weather girl
Ruling all my world
She's my weather girl
Ruling all my world

BLACK
It's a brand new season
You got a rock to face
You seem lost in the corner
But you have to be there
You were a part-time hero
So sure of your fate
Now you're back to zero
I go back in time
Watching the world around
Go back in time
Watching the world around
Watching the world around
You have a hundred reasons
To get discouraged
You find a hundred meanings
Why here you remain
You're still a full-time hero
No fear on your face
You'll spread your wings tomorrow
I go back in time
Watching the world around
Go back in time
Watching the world around
Watching the world around
Watching the world around
Watching the world around
Watching the world around
