Shepard's Song Lady & Bird At first i wondered why they only speak to each other It took me some time to understand That they cannot see or hear any of the crowd After observing their child like behavious understood They were two little children stuck In the bodies of grown ups To the girl i said “You are lady” To the boy i said “You are a bird but you cannot fly” They knew about the presence of other people They knew about the sun And at some point right before the break of day They could see me Not knowing that i come from the outside On the seventh day She looked up at me and said “I am lady” and the boy said “I am bird,But i cannot fly” “I cannot fly” “I cannot fly” “I cannot fly” “You are a bird” --end--
