about
Part of the song cycle "Harangue"
lyrics
The birds don't owe their tweets to the trees.
The birds don't owe, the birds don't owe.
And the trees don't owe their leaves to the breeze.
Trees don't owe their leaves, the trees don't owe their leaves
to the breeze.
The wind can't blow out the carillon's song.
The bell can't owe its ding dong,
its ding dong, its ding dong, its ding dong.
The birds don't owe, the birds don't owe.
And the trees don't owe their leaves to the breeze.
Trees don't owe their leaves, the trees don't owe their leaves
to the breeze.
The wind can't blow out the carillon's song.
The bell can't owe its ding dong,
its ding dong, its ding dong, its ding dong.
