Art Song meets Pop

Who has seen the White Peacock
in the pale and misty morning?
Across the trees he glides
beyond our lives.
He brings
messages of lovers far away.
Messages that vanish into day.
aeae aeae
Messages from friends
that left us far too soon.
They are looking for you.
They will love you
Forever.
