Question:{piper} What does "piper" mean?
What's the meaning of "Piper" in this lyric?

One day we walked along the sand, one day in early spring
You held a piper in your hand to mend its broken wing
Now I'll remember many a day and many a lonely mile
The echo of a piper's song, the shadow of her smile
a sand piper is a bird. Hi Ken!
Ahhh, this piper is a sandpiper! Thanks, Steve. : )
The lyrics work better if it's "the shadow of a smile" in this line.
