lyrics

Birds Flew On By

I found you below
Slowly drinking the fig tree’s shadow
You showed me how the river
Had cut the cliff so steep so low

With your hands spread wide
Like the village on the mountainside
You took the air prisoner
Then you opened your mouth and sighed

And the birds flew on by
Flew on by, bye

Four a.m. woke me
With buckskin drums crossing the valley
You were still dancing on cobblestones
Covered in melted wax and sherry

I found you below
Singing sacred songs in the meadow
The daughters of the wilderness
Told me again to let you go

And the birds flew on by
Flew on by, bye
