| We’re buried beneath with mountains to climb
|
| We’re drowning away with water and wine
|
| Were you watching the wolves, our very first kiss
|
| Wipe the tears from your face, the taste from your lips
|
| We’ll sit in communion, our hands in our laps
|
| Writing prayers for a God who will never pray back
|
| We won’t last for forever, make best with your time
|
| We’re the last of our fathers, the first of our kind
|
| So no one believes me, it wasn’t so easy to say
|
| I offered the world to a heartbroken girl
|
| and she left me and stole it away
|
| This may sound ruthless, so honest and useless
|
| but no one believes what I say
|
| Oh I’ll follow the birds,
|
| 'cause they’re always there to chase
|
| I’ll sit here remembering what I have got left
|
| The scars; |
| the words that escape from my chest
|
| Let the birds fly for winter to the heat of the south
|
| I will die by the summer, I will die by myself
|
| In the freshest of airs, the calmest of storms
|
| With the blue lights approaching I’ll lay in your arms
|
| I will die like religion, I’m weak with my facts
|
| But the people will wait, oh the birds will come back
|
| So Father believe me, it wasn’t so easy to say
|
| I offered the world to a heartbroken girl
|
| and she left me and stole it away
|
| This may sound ruthless, so honest and useless
|
| but no one believes what I say
|
| Oh I’ll follow the birds,
|
| 'cause they’re always there to chase |
