Robin by Emma Gatrill Lyrics

You migrate north to find your mate
But for some the sound of love has changed
The tall city buildings echo your song
Confuse your ears as to whether a response was sung

Too long spent in such a loud environment

Little robin why do you sing at night?
Have you been tricked by the city streetlights?
Or have you chosen so you don’t have to fight
For to sing at night you put up less of a fight

Too long spent in such a loud environment
Has altered the pitch of your song

Will your country cousin recognize your call?
Will your children sing an entirely new song?
Oh Nature she tries to strike a balance
But we don’t help to keep your love and you together

Too long spent in such a loud environment
Has altered the pitch of your song
Your range has narrowed
Your pitch it has risen
