Birds beneath my window dustying their wings upon the lawn |
|
I hear them in the morning light giving last amen to a migratory song |
|
They're never looking round for me their eyes are on the sky or the ground below |
|
But I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know |
|
Hello blackbird, hello starling |
|
Winter's over, be my darling |
|
It's been a long time coming |
|
But now the snow is gone |
|
You were beautiful when i first saw your feathers and confectionery airs |
|
Like the earth it up and promised you the stars but you really didn't care |
|
I sang in exultation pulled the stops - you always looked a little bored |
|
But I'm singing for the love of it - have mercy on the man who sings to be adored |
|
Hello blackbird, hello starling |
|
Winter's over, be my darling |
|
It's been a long time coming |
|
But now the snow is gone |
|
I'm underneath your window now - it's long after the birds have gone to roost |
|
And I'm not sure if I'm singing for the love of it or for the love of you |
|
But I've flown a long way honey hear my confession then I'll go |
|
I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know |
|
Hello brown one, hello blue one |
|
Last night's feathers exchanged for new ones |
|
Hello blackbird, hello starling |
|
Winter's over, be my darling |
|
It's been a long time coming |
|
But now the snow is gone |
