Birdsong Before The Sun

Did you notice how when he said goodbye
His hand rose up and covered his eyes
And talons fell from milky skies
And cried a bottomless vacant sigh
Did you notice how when he washed the dishes
The soap lay thick in the water's deepest
Point and he wondered if this moment
Would ever reach a meaningful end

Birdsong before the sun rises
Graphing the lines of a worn smile
Feeling out the ways of the world's wiles
Birdsong before the sun

Did you notice how when the time was nearing
To stop being civil and start endearing
The meaning of our fears was missed
And I'm searching out some forgiveness
Did you wonder how when I still didn't know you
And bubbles floated in a glass that drowned all of me
Pointedly engrossed in a lonely story
This is how lovers meet

Oh, birdsong before the sun rises
Graphing the lines of a worn smile
Feeling out the ways of the world's wiles
Birdsong before the sun
Oh, birdsong before the sun rises
Graphing the lines of a worn smile
Feeling out the ways of the world's wiles
Birdsong, oh oh

Tall tales and sanity
All in our vanity
Hopefully candidly
Asking and searchingly
Forlornly swallowing
But it's a lying thing
Caught in its webbed deceit
Fall leaves and searchingly
Hoping
Hoping
Hoping

Birdsong, birdsong
Birdsong, birdsong
Birdsong before the sun rises
Graphing the lines of a worn smile
Feeling out the ways of the world's wiles
Birdsong before the sun
Oh, birdsong before the sun rises
Graphing the lines of a worn smile
Feeling out the ways
Feeling out the ways
Feeling out the ways
Feeling out the ways
Da da da da da, da da da da da
