I Could Join The Birds

I was born a blue-eyed boy

Blond curls and Traveller blood

And I was sent to make a toy

Out of your wanderlust

I’ll make it dance upon my words

Push your life on through the thirds

Oh honey, have you heard

I know it sounds absurd…

But I could join the birds

I could join the birds

And kiss every star in the sky

I could rise up on my words

Disappear from the city tonight

City tonight, city tonight…

You know I loved you from the start

And I’m no quitter, man, so hold on tight

I watched you glitter in the dark

And how I wish you were with me tonight

If I could take flight

What would my life be like?

You’d like the afterlife…

If I could join the birds?

If I could join the birds

And kiss every star in the sky

I could rise up on my words

And paint with shades so pretty tonight

I could join the birds

And I could melt into your eyes

They sing their song, I speak their words

I know it sounds absurd

But I could join the birds

This sober world just breaks my heart

I could join the birds…

Don’t go to town on this…

But I miss you

And each day, the longing for you grows and grows and grows

It’s time to rise up on my words

To the stardust I’ll disturb

For the fate that I deserve

I know it sounds absurd

But I could join the birds
