Lyrics Wind up Bird Song (For Japan) - Diane Birch

Wind up Bird Song (For Japan)

Part, part of an ocean wide
Part, part of your hope inside
Here comes life with a knife again
Shows no conscience, no mercy
Take my hand, reaching out for you
Don’t let go, whatever you do
When the nights are cold
And the days are just too long
When inside you hear
All the sirens going strong
I learn to feel the wind up bird song
I’ll stay with you until the nights come and go
Time bringing a better year
Will this world still be here by then
Rivers deep and it’s far too wide
To swim across all on your own
There’s an angel reaching out for you
Don’t give up, whatever you do
When the water’s cold
And the air is just too strong
When you lose your fight
And can’t find where you belong
I learn to feel the wind up bird song
I’ll stay with you until the nights come and go
