Birds Lyrics

The white throated sparrow

The wood duck and blue jay

Are no longer seen

And the air is so still

The old river birch

is leafed out yet empty

The screech owl and egret

Mourning dove have all gone

And the sons of the lost

And the daughters of the weary

Keep pushing through time

With no purpose in mind

And the millionaires' mansions

Are burning the blue sky

But it's too late to save

We're just ashes in urns

And even you my angel

Who glides through the night sky

Protecting directing

Gently guiding my way

Your feathers have fallen

Your dreams have been dying

Your wings are now withered

As you fly away home
