Sweet Bird

Out on some borderline Some mark of in between I lay down golden in time and I woke up vanishing Sweet bird you are Briefer than a falling star All these vain promises on beauty jars Somewhere with your wings on time you must be laughing Behind our eyes Calendars of our lives Circled with compromise Sweet bird of time and change, you must be laughing Up on your feathers laughing Golden in time Cities under the sand Power, ideals and beauty fading in everyone's hands Give me some time I feel like I'm losing mine Out here on this horizon line With the earth spinning and the sky forever rushing No one knows They can never get that close Guesses at most Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching [Instrumental Break] Out on some borderline Some mark of in between I lay down golden in time and woke up vanishing No one knows They can never get that close Guesses at most Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
