The Creatures Of The Field letra

And the creatures of the field
Waited in the silence of Gabriel's departing
And in the meadow kneeled
Still but for the sound of a frightened faun starting

'Til the owl said
"Who raised up a clamor so harsh and deep?"
The owl said
"Who caused gentle Mary to fret and weep?"

"Her window glows brightly
I fear that she cannot sleep"

Mary paced her room
Wishing that her heartbeat
Would cease its fearful pounding
Peered into the gloom
Silent as a tomb
Not one distant drum sounding

As the owl said
"Who caused such a stillness to mystify the earth
And why?
See how she searches the darkened sky
Who is there among us to sing her a lullaby?"

"Sing me a lullaby"
