Hummin'

The wind is in the birches

On an empty afternoon

And it feels as if I'm fading

Into the colours of the room

That is gray and dull and sleepy

And soon another day is done

You're always humming to yourself, son

Where are the words that match your song?

And the streets are strangely quiet

See the students heading home

And soon the voices from the nursery

Will fill the autumn air with song

But this is not how I remember

Having nothing on my mind

And though the kitchen clock's not working

You feel you're running out of time

And just like in a movie

We'll end with the town from a birds view

The smoke rising from the factory

The bells are ringin' at the school

But I'm still by the kitchen table

By the flicker of a pale sun

You're always humming to yourself, son

Where are the words that match your song?
