[Part I]

[Verse 1]

As a single star

Glides swiftly down the night

A soft wetting note

Issues from the time-worn flute

[Verse 2]

Frowning slightly

The herald listens wistful across the night

And from way back behind

The day comes the echoed answer

[Chorus]

The day advances oh-so softly

His shadow lengthens, and his voice is mute

But clear his flute

And sadly walks forward, followed by the day

Herald of morning walks across the earth eternally

Oh

[Part II]

[Instrumental]

[Part III]

[Verse]

And somewhere in the black distance

Another herald puts down his flute

And the dewy dawn creeps on

And the night withdraws

[Chorus]

The day advances oh-so softly

His shadow lengthens, and his voice is mute

But clear his flute

And sadly walks forward, followed by the day

Herald of morning walks across the earth eternally

Oh, oh

[Outro]

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ah

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ah

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ah

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la, ah
