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.
