lyrics
!. Seagulls crying in the sky
through the night, flying high.
Gliding, diving towards the sea, to get their fish which comes for free..
but then when the morning comes, people like to laugh and run.
Scaring all the birds away, and so they have no place to play..
CHORUS:
Night Birds, crying by the moonlight, Night Birds, flying at a great height, I hear them, calling through the night, Night Birds, crying by the moonlight, Night Birds, flying at a great height, I hear them calling through the night
2. Moving slowly through the leaves,
the Kiwi looks beneath the trees,
searching, squealing for a mate, for many hours he has to wait
But then when the sun it creeps, the Kiwi has to go to sleep,
they cuddle up from beak to toe, until the moon it slowly glows
CHORUS:
Night Birds, crying by the moonlight, Night Birds, flying at a great height, I hear them, calling through the night, Night Birds, crying by the moonlight, Night Birds, flying at a great height, I hear them calling through the night
