Birds by Erik Bleich Lyrics

[Verse 1]
If I had the words
I wouldn't be sitting here writing them down
I'd be singing with the birds
From the tallest tree around
But I'm tangled in the wires
Instead of soaring with the highest flyers
And I watch the pistons push them far away

[Verse 2]
If I had the space
I'd dance circles 'round and 'round
Spinning smiles upon your face
Fall as confetti to the ground
But I'm trapped between the layers
Clinging desperate to my hopes and prayers
And I listen to the footsteps overhead

[Verse 3]
If I had the time
I'd live every scene forever
And I'd be yours as you are mine
Becoming all the things we never
Wondered if they ever could be true
From the oldest grain right on through the new
And I'd watch the misty mountains turn to sand
[Verse 4]
And if I had my way
I'd leave it all and watch you go
Above the rain to see the day
Shining bright on through the snow
But I'm mangled in the mires
Stuck between new ideals and old desires
And I watch the blue grow darker every day
And I watch the misty mountains turn to sand
As I listen to the footsteps over head
And I watch the pistons push them far away
From this place
