Elbow - The Birds HQ [Lyrics]
The birds are the keepers of our secret As they saw us where we lay In the deepest grass of springtime In a reckless guilty haze
And they wove a sweet indifferenceAnd it settled on our skinTill the eyes that I rememberedFor the last time drew me in
The birds, though I wore your glacial patienceTo a smudge of bitter dustOn the last day you embraced meWith a glistening sapling trust
Did they sing a million blessingsAs they watched us slowly part?Do they keep those final kissesIn their tiny racing hearts?
What are we gonna do with you?Same tale every timeWhat are we gonna do with you?Come on inside, looking back is for the birds
What are we gonna do with you?Same tale every timeWhat are we gonna do with you?Come on inside, looking back is for the birds
What are we gonna do with you?Same tale every timeWhat are we gonna do with you?Come on inside, looking back is for the birds
What are we gonna do with you?Same tale every timeWhat are we gonna do with you?Come on inside, looking back is for the birds
The birds are the keepers of our secretAs they saw us where we layIn the deepest grass of springtimeIn a reckless guilty haze
What are we gonna do with you?Same tale every time(Did they sing a million blessings)
What are we gonna do with you?Come on inside, looking back is for the birds(As they watched us slowly part?)
What are we gonna do with you?Same tale every time(Do they keep those final kisses)
What are we gonna do with you?Come on inside, looking back is for the birds(In their tiny racing hearts?)
What are we gonna do with you?Same tale every timeWhat are we gonna do with you?Come on inside, looking back is for the birds
What are we gonna do with you?
