lyrics

Oh graceful ghost with airy feathers
Puffed up like Mr Whippy ice cream
Echoing thoughts of once belonging,
The tiny avian drifts by the stream,

And oh, the message of hope and sadness
You carry it as you flit through the shadows deep and green,
deep and green
Little egret you charm me so every night
As you visit my waking dreams

You blew in from France on a breeze of poetry
All wrapped up in a muslin gown
You're shy, protecting your solitude
And you fly, you land like thistledown

And oh the message of hope and sadness
You carry it as you flit through the shadows deep and green,
deep and green
Little egret you charm me so every night
As you visit my waking dreams

I know you're trying to show me something
You've flown so far across land and sea
I wish I could translate the telegram
That you've blown in to bring me.

And oh, the message of hope and sadness
You carry it as you flit through the shadows deep and green,
deep and green
Little egret you charm me so every night
As you visit my waking dreams
