Gossip In The Grain Songtext / Lyric

Such the lazy Jackstraw,

Always late for tea

Never bothers to ring lately



Says the silly Sparrow,

'There's gossip in the grain,

Have you heard the... Oh you don't say.'



'Someday,

Someday,

A snow shall fill the trees

You'd best make warm the eves.'






Grown callous is the old Crow,

He'd mock even the sun,

Eyes as black as blood

Bone crack in the craw



He'd say,

He'd say,

Always a 'Never mind'

Always a 'Never mind'



Truth be:

The Beggar that holds his tongue,

Dines on none but air alone
