LYRICS Fly away, Peter, fly away, Paul, before there's nothing left to fly at all Butterflies danced on invisible strings Showing wings they borrowed from a rainbow And a blackbird on high sang a praise to the sky While a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain Furry backed bees with a tireless drone Never moan, they're happy to be working And a grasshopper green could be heard but not seen While a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
[Chorus:] Fly away, Peter, fly away, Paul, before there's nothing left to fly at all Take to the sky, higher than high, before the silvery rain begins to fall
Nothing moves now but the swaying ripe corn Not a dawn is greeted with a bird's song There's a feather or two from a bird that once flew Before a light aeroplane sprayed the fields with a silvery rain
