GUEST,matt milton Answer to question @ Ewan McColl song (12) RE: Answer to question @ Ewan McColl song 15 Aug 24


adapted this for an afternoon folk session of eco and nature songs recently - mainly by putting it in the past tense!

No Place To Be

A rock on the shore was the cormorant's dwelling,
The warbling blackbird built its nest in the tree--
The birds of the sky and the fish of the ocean,
Each had its own place - now there's no place to be.

The fox made its lair and the rabbit its burrow,
A set for the badger, a hive for the bee--
The weasel, the hare, the mole and the martin,
Each had its own shelter - now there's no place to be.
