Away But Never Gone Lyrics - Bright Morning Stars - Wailin' Jennys

The moon's on its way to its nightly shift, the frogs fill the creek below. 

The tall grass waves a farewell to the day, the wind moans sweet and low. 

A heron tucks his head in his wing, the fish in the lake float along. 

The sun sinks from sight: away, but never gone. 

The dawn brings the dew like a thousand jewels, a nest rustles high on a bough. 

The blue egg stays warm in the cool of the morn, under a red breast of down. 

The clouds turn and stretch, the moon checks its wrist and gathers itself with a yawn, 

And winks to the sun: away, but never gone. 

*Whistling and humming*

And we come and go: away, but never gone.
