Lyrics
Birds
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Take your time make peace with the day,
Lying on the ground and cold feet,
And never mind what people will say,
Talking is thoughtless and cheep
I only said it to be kind,
I wont pretend to be nieve,
And thoughts arrive like leaves on the page,
Trying and hoping to be,
You and i like birds in a cage,
Dreaming how once we were free,
The evening closes on the wire,
I saw you hiding in the eeves,
Dont leave me hanging all the while,
A shadow underneath the trees
I only want you to be mine,
I only want you to be free,
If either on of us is right,
It must be sealed to be believed
I only want you to be mine,
I only want you to be free
