Birds by Bic Runga Lyrics

Take your time make peace with the day
Lying on the ground and cold feet
And never mind what people will say
Talking is thoughtless and cheep

I only said it to be kind
I won't 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 wire
I saw you hiding in the eves
Dont leave me hanging all the while
A shadow underneath the trees

I only want you to be mine
I only want you to be free
If either on of us is right
It must be sealed to be believed
I only want you to be mine
I only want you to be free
