After All

A song for a book about the animals in Spooner Row, South Norfolk, about their battle with the uprights, but also about what both species need...
After All
The bats swoop across
A silent field
They’ve travelled down from Devon
To Spooner Row
“we all need to have water after all”
“we all need to have water after all”
The newts are called
for a collaborative project
We gather our friends
We stand on each other’s shoulders
“we all need to have water after all”
“we all need to have water after all”
Charlie the Horse
Felt no remorse
it made him feel reckless
it made him feel brave
“we all need to have water after all”
“we all need to have water after all”
“we all need to have water after all”
“we all need to have water after all”
Owl flies by
in the evening sky
He shreds the papers
He builds their nest
“we all need to have water after all”
“we all need to have water after all”
“we all need to have water after all”
“we all need to have water after all”
A Site of Special Scientific Interest
endangered flora and fauna
an electric spring
a magical place
The seasons turn around
The long hot days of Summer
Fade into Autumn
Then onto Winter
