Darkest Birds

Here come the darkest birds

To burst the bubble

End of a perfect day

Head full of trouble

Here come the darkest birds

All tar and feathers

Why did none of them dream of trying

To make things better?

Those are the mimicking kind

They are, they are

I number myself among them

The furthest star

And this is the road

I walked on

When I shot you down

All words of forgiveness useless

They won’t help me now

And I should’ve been there for you

When you called my name

I promise to tread more lightly

Though what’s gone is gone

It’s such a shame

Here come the darkest birds

They’ve got their reasons

All their pretty colours are gone

Washed out of season

Those are the soaring kind

They are, they are

I number yourself among them

The brightest star

And this is the road

I walked on

When I shot you down

All words of forgiveness useless

They won’t serve me now

And I should’ve been there for you

When you called my name

I promise to tread more lightly

Though what’s done is done

It’s such a shame
