Sweet Bird

[Verse 1]

Out on some borderline

Some mark of in between

I lay down golden in time and woke up vanishing

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Golden in time

Cities under the sand

Power, ideals and beauty fading in everyone's hands

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

No one knows

They can never get that close

Guesses at most

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

[Outro]

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching

Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
