I have never heard this song before, so full of meaning.we used to have so many songs like this when I was younger today's young think they are the only ones who care about this planet we live on, where are their protest songs!!!!!!
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 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 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 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
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 Chorus (Instrumental break) Chorus
Mum played this song a lot in the early 80s. I thought it was an ok song back then but now
I definately appreciate it a great deal more.

You should check out Olivia Newton -John's version and the video. Both Cliff and Olivia great renditions.
Great song. Decades before its time
Great song ,I believe in a better Tomorrow!😊🦋🌱🕊️♥️
I really love this song; could listen to it over and over!
I love this song and video, so, so much. I haven't heard it long time ago, since I was 30 and even younger
아름다운 노래. 추석의 리차드. 부드러운 목소리.
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
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
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
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
Thanks ☺️
Great song and video
The Green Grasshopper in the song is represented by a Green "Cricket" in the video, so 8 out of ten.
Wow, I mean F***ing Wow...Cliff, what a great track
Thank you sharing this lovely voice. And now Cliff could sing about chemtrails !
actually great guitar accompaniment, reminds of Barrios cathedral..all round great
Good song fro. long ago
A "green" song that came out before environmentalism was the in thing.
