lyrics

Storm bird of the Northland,
Guardian of winter days
On stone cold earth you stand
On frosted field and frozen ways

Skipping over twig and leaf
Sure-footed on hard ground
Fly above the hill and heath
Beating heart in scarlet gown
Amongst the evergreen you toil
Turning leaf and moss
Search for treasure
Deep and dark and lost

No sound in the winter dawn
All your kind have left
You stay amongst the thick hawthorn
Leafless and bereft
Storm bird of the Northland
