| The birds | |
| Are the keepers of our secret | |
| As they saw us where we lay | |
| In the deepest grass of springtime | |
| In a reckless guilty haze | |
| And they wove a sweet indifference | |
| And it settled on our skin | |
| Til the eyes that I remembered | |
| For the last time drew me in | |
| The birds | |
| Though I wore your glacial patience | |
| To a smudge of bitter dust | |
| On the last day you embraced me | |
| With a glistening sapling trust | |
| Did they sing a million blessings | |
| As they watched us slowly part | |
| Do they keep those final kisses | |
| In their tiny racing hearts | |
| ∮ | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Same tale every time | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Come on inside | |
| Looking back is for the birds | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Same tale every time | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Come on inside | |
| Looking back is for the birds | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Same tale every time | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Come on inside | |
| Looking back is for the birds | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Same tale every time | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Come on inside | |
| Looking back is for | |
| The birds | |
| The birds | |
| Are the keepers of our secret | |
| As they saw us where we lay | |
| In the deepest grass of springtime | |
| In a reckless guilty haze | |
| Did they sing a million blessings | |
| As they watched us slowly part | |
| Do they keep those final kisses | |
| In their tiny racing hearts | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
| Looking back is for the birds | |
| What are we gonna do with you | |
