Birds Flew Backwards

The car zoomed past
I watched the passers by
Birds flew backwards
Yet still arrived
Winter seemed to linger
But now the swallows have arrived
It wont be long
Until summertime
Walked through the woods to the power lines
Saw birds fly backwards in perfect line
Winter seemed to melt now
Now the swallows have arrived
It can't be long until summertime
Summertime
