North Meadow by Giles, Giles And Fripp Lyrics
[Chorus]
The breeze makes the trees wave and shout
North Meadow, four willow trees sprout
[Verse 1]
When the red-eyed sun comes yawning
Wakes the meadow, makes the morning
There starts another day
Nature lends her subtle bounty
Seasoning this rustic county
Cares are a world away
[Guitar Solo #1]
[Chorus]
The breeze makes the trees wave and shout
North Meadow, four willow trees sprout
[Verse 2]
One small meadow, four tall willows
Murmur as the autumn wind blows
Summer was everything
Hanging by the minnowed river
Winter makes the willows shiver
Suddenly, there is spring
[Guitar Solo #2 / Outro]

The Saga of Rodney Toady:
Rodney was a sad young man because he was fat and ugly and no one liked him. Children ran up to him in the street and pointed and shouted. "Rodney is a sad young man because he's fat and ugly!". And then they ran away laughing. Rodney shouted, "I will chase you and hit you and make you cry!" But as Rodney was so fat, he could not run fast enough, and the frustration of complete impotence made him even sadder
The breeze makes the trees wave and shout
North Meadow, four willow trees sprout
[Verse 1]
When the red-eyed sun comes yawning
Wakes the meadow, makes the morning
There starts another day
Nature lends her subtle bounty
Seasoning this rustic county
Cares are a world away

[Verse 2]

Murmur as the autumn wind blows
Summer was everything
Hanging by the minnowed river
Winter makes the willows shiver
Suddenly, there is spring
