Kingfisher

Once I heard some children singing
Down beside the water,
ìKingfisher, Fisher King, have you got a daughter?
Kingfisher, Kingfisher, promise her to me,
Send her to me on the wind,
Safe across the sea.î

Kingfisher, Kingfisher, bluer than the sky,
End the winter; start the Spring,
Kill the dragonfly.

I thought I saw a young man lying
Down beside the river.
Golden arrow in his side,
From a ghostly quiver.
ìKingfisher, Kingfisher, hear me !,î he cried.
Disappeared without a trace.
I do not think he died.

Kingfisher, Kingfisher, bluer than the sky,
End the winter; start the Spring,
Kill the dragonfly.

Last night I saw an old man waiting,
Down beside the sea.
Kingfisher, Fisher King,
Be a friend to me.

Kingfisher, Kingfisher, bluer than the sky,
End the winter; start the Spring,
Kill the dragonfly.
End the winter; start the Spring,
Kill the dragonfly.
