Birds

Bic Runga - Birds

Take your time make peace with the day

Lying on the ground and cold feet

And never mind what people will say

Talking is thoughtless and cheep

I only said it to be kind,

I wont pretend to be nieve

And thoughts arrive like leaves on the page

Trying and hoping to be

You and i like birds in a cage

Dreaming how once we were free

The evening closes on the wire

I saw you hiding in the eeves

Dont leave me hanging all the while

A shadow underneath the trees

I only want you to be mine

I only want you to be free

If either on of us is right

It must be sealed to be believed

ah...

I only want you to be mine

I only want you to be free

ah..
