Three Glowing Lights Dancing in the Spray

Lyrics: Three Glowing Lights Dancing in the Spray

Sitting on a mossy log, nice and still Binoculars pressed against my eye Waiting for the Blue Jay or the Killdeer bill The woods were quiet as a lullaby I checked my field guide, I checked my scope Just one more hour, I said But then the sky turned a shade of slate And the heavens opened up instead. Now my gear is soaking wet My binoculars are fogged up tight I lost the hawk, I lost the fight I’m sitting here in the pouring rain With nothing left to gain but the cold and the pain. But then I saw a sparkle in the gray Not a bird, but a bloom Three glowing lights dancing in the spray And oh, they were in no mood to bloom They stripped off their clothes and they started to spin Three fairies, wild and free The rain was their only dress Oh, what a sight for a man like me. I forgot about the species list I forgot the need for a count They were laughing, glowing, bodies kissed Splashing in the puddles about One with wings of gold, one with wings of white And the third one with skin like the moon They were dancing in the mud, shaking their hair In the middle of the afternoon. My binoculars are useless now I can't see a thing with the glass But I don't need to spot or to assess I can see the curves, I can see the glisten They’re beautiful, they’re divine The best bird watching I’ve ever done Since the day that I was born. Yeah, I saw a sparkle in the gray Not a bird, but a bloom Three glowing lights dancing in the spray And oh, they were in no mood to bloom They stripped off their clothes and they started to spin Three fairies, wild and free The rain was their only dress Oh, what a sight for a man like me. They’re still out there, dancing in the rain I’m gonna stay here for a while Wrapped in my raincoat, hands in my lap Watching nature’s finest style. Yeah, watching nature’s finest style...
