Bic Runga Birds Lyrics

Birds Lyrics

Take your time

Make peace with the day

Lie on the ground and think of me

Nevermind what people will say

Talking is thoughtless and cheap



I only said it to be kind

I wont pretend to be naive

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

I saw you hiding in the eaves



Don't leave me hanging on the wire 

A shadow underneathe the trees



I only want you to be mine

I only want you to be free

If either one of us is right

It must be seen to be believed



I only want you to be mine

I only want you to be free
