Lyrics:

Little Lapwing
This one is unusual in that, although the song is credited to Les, John wrote the lyrics, returning to one of his favourite themes, birds, for inspiration. Les not only played bass and sang the lead vocal, but is also credited with acoustic guitars, twelve string guitars, steel guitar and piano!

Lyrics:
Bye, bye, bye
The time has come round again, my friend
A life and some time I just gotta spend
So bye bye, my friend

See you again
My mind in my pocket
The sun in my eye
There's gold in the mountains
The streams run by
So see you again

Swing low, swing high
Talk of the times, the love and the laughing
I'll come back to you in the spring, little lapwing
'Till then, bye bye
