If you can't find me in my bed,
come out and look for me under the moon.
Listen to the notes of the robin's song in the pre-dawn night.
I'll be in the shadows with the cats and skunks and raccoons.
I'll be crouching between wall and wheel filling up their bowl.
And I'll be filling my lungs with the scent of trees and grass and earth.
And I will listen to the notes of the robin's song in the pre-dawn night.

The robin sings before the dawn,
trusting that day will come.
I listen while lying sleepless
wondering if my heart will still beat
once his song is done.
