Birds Fly Away
I'm sitting on my stoop
just thinking about the friends I used to know
summers we spent outside
slapping time on our thighs
smiling at the boys walk by
but then a breeze begins to blow
and I know it's time to go inside
but wait
birds fly away
they seek shelter
trees stand strong
they don't falter
I'm walking down the street
the people I pass, we nod our heads and go
shuffle our feet away,
never more than hello
one more we let slip by
but like a photograph I took
one of many in a book I lost
to time
don't fade away
turn 'round
stay for the day
in my town
birds fly away
they seek shelter
trees stand strong
they don't falter
just thinking about the friends I used to know
summers we spent outside
slapping time on our thighs
smiling at the boys walk by
but then a breeze begins to blow
and I know it's time to go inside
but wait
birds fly away
they seek shelter
trees stand strong
they don't falter
I'm walking down the street
the people I pass, we nod our heads and go
shuffle our feet away,
never more than hello
one more we let slip by
but like a photograph I took
one of many in a book I lost
to time
don't fade away
turn 'round
stay for the day
in my town
birds fly away
they seek shelter
trees stand strong
they don't falter
