Richard Blum songs
First Star
I am the tail end of the wind
the future as it passes you by
I am the leopard between the clouds
leaping from villiage to villiage
scattering the crowds, laughing out loud
while the sunset figurines
play toy drums, rat a tat tat
a boy with a loaf of bread
a girl carrying a fruit basket
huff and puff what a waste of breath
the first star
high up north
has witnessed more kisses
the swaying of the swings
on the front porch
a screen flapping
crickets going to sleep
baby birds hope to fly
maybe tomorrow
their wings will find the sky
and they too
can nest in the clouds
soar with the leopard
and if they're lucky
get a glimpse of the Good Sheppard
the first star
high up north
has witnessed more kisses
the swaying of the swings
on the front porch
I am the tail end of the wind
the future as it passes you by
I am the leopard between the clouds
leaping from villiage to villiage
scattering the crowds, laughing out loud
while the sunset figurines
play toy drums, rat a tat tat
a boy with a loaf of bread
a girl carrying a fruit basket
huff and puff what a waste of breath
the first star
high up north
has witnessed more kisses
the swaying of the swings
on the front porch
a screen flapping
crickets going to sleep
baby birds hope to fly
maybe tomorrow
their wings will find the sky
and they too
can nest in the clouds
soar with the leopard
and if they're lucky
get a glimpse of the Good Sheppard
the first star
high up north
has witnessed more kisses
the swaying of the swings
on the front porch
