Terminal Birds

There's a sparrow on the carpet
In a giant mall
The planes are passing passin by
And i dont care at all

We're in a terminal place
But you're not boarding
Terminally interlaced
Like love lost, like two things
That once were
That once were
That once were
One were one

And its peckin at the carpet
With its beady little eyes
Like two raisins in a nervous little
Bundle of surprise

And i dont wamma be here
I wanna make it fast
Rain, a locomotive
A love that doesnt last

So you sit across the aisle
With your pupils open wide
And i try to make discussion
And you stare again and sigh

We're in a terminal place
But you're not boarding
Terminally interlaced
Like love lost, like two things
That once were
That once were
That once were
One were one

The couch is red like agony
It frames your body well
Splayed out, you're a felony
Ophelia, you fell

And i stare beyond the furnishings
To the empty space above
And softly do the sparrows sing
Their song of passing love
