And while the world is falling ill
Still I hear the woodpecker drill
It is that moment when I wake
Before I remember my heartache
The sun is streaming to bring the day
Without a care – please let it stay
Birdsong comes and I feel cheer
Before I remember heartache is here
It’s all so strange – a life inside
Away from all others we must hide
And while the world is falling ill
Still I hear the woodpecker drill
