Strange Meadowlark

Strange Meadowlark - The Dave Brubeck Quartet

What a strange meadowlark

To be singing oh so sweetly in the park

Tonight

All alone meadowlark

Are you dreaming of the moons that burned so bright

And of love in flight

Can't you sleep meadowlark

Is there nothing left but whistling in the dark

So sad

Was it love meadowlark

Were the songs you sang last summer crazy mad

Think of all you had

A quietness up in the clouds

Where the soft winds blow

Far from all the noisy crowds

Where the earthbound go

Your wings have brushed

Against the star

Boundless were the skies

You may have flown too high too far

Love is seldom wise

Don't you see meadowlark

Though you try your call won't turn another lark in flight

He has gone meadowlark

You can sing your song until the dawn brings light

Sing with all your might

Don't you see meadowlark

Though you try your call won't turn another lark in flight

He has gone meadowlark

You can sing your song until the dawn brings light

Sing with all your might

Sing away the dark

Little meadowlark

Meadowlark

Meadowlark
