AND THE BIRDS SING NO MORE

 

AND THE BIRDS SING NO MORE

 

Many flags have flown

On the good ship last resort

Feelings we have owned

Then traded away

I will not trade out my God

Though I sail not

Though all things fall away

Though the water recedes

And all is dry land

And the trees lose their root systems

And the birds the birds sing no more

Still it is God that I implore.
