up on a hill top, far from the city
overlooking a stream
i heard a sound, it made me look round
i looked back where i had just been
there just behind a ledge
there was a man he leapt to and fro
clipping away at a hedge
suddenly i heard a ringing singing
but he was nowhere to be seen
pulling my trousers up to my knees
i waded across the stream
back to the place where i could hear sounds
and where the old man once had been
there just behind a ledge
i looked about, i couldn\'t make out
where he had been clipping the hedge
i could not hear what he was singing
but i found my ears ringing with the sound
