[00:26.83]The birds
[00:29.78]Are the keepers of our secret
[00:40.09]As they saw us where we lay
[00:46.88]In the deepest grass of springtime
[00:57.19]In a reckless guilty haze
[01:04.06]And they wove a sweet indifference
[01:14.36]And it settled on our skin
[01:21.23]Til the eyes that I remembered
[01:31.54]For the last time drew me in
[01:39.21]
[01:42.20]The birds
[01:45.21]Though I wore your glacial patience
[01:55.48]To a smudge of bitter dust
[02:02.45]On the last day you embraced me
[02:12.62]With a glistening sapling trust
[02:19.52]Did they sing a million blessings
[02:29.77]As they watched us slowly part
[02:36.59]Do they keep those final kisses
[02:46.94]In their tiny racing hearts
[02:54.71]

[04:00.86]What are we gonna do with you
[04:03.68]Same tale every time
[04:07.55]What are we gonna do with you
