[00:00.38]The Birds  ――  Elbow
[00:02.90]
[00:04.42]
[00:27.34]The birds are the keepers of our secret
[00:40.47]As they saw us where we lay
[00:47.27]In the deepest grass of springtime
[00:57.83]In a reckless guilty haze
[01:04.41]And they wove a sweet indifference
[01:14.76]And it settled on our skin
[01:21.46]Till the eyes that I remembered
[01:31.80]For the last time drew me in
[01:42.77]The birds, though I wore your glacial patience
[01:56.05]To a smudge of bitter dust
[02:02.71]On the last day you embraced me
[02:12.92]With a glistening sapling trust
[02:19.91]Did they sing a million blessings
[02:30.10]As they watched us slowly part?
[02:37.01]Do they keep those final kisses
[02:47.93]In their tiny racing hearts
[02:55.88]
[04:01.30]What are we gonna do with you?
[04:03.91]Same tale every time
[04:07.89]What are we gonna do with you?
[04:10.54]Come on inside
[04:14.80]Looking back is for the birds
[04:18.13]What are we gonna do with you?
