We Are Like Birds
Seen through the windows
Birds look like clothes
Strips of rag ready to fly away for a warmer land
You're solid as a rock, you're heavy like a lock, my love
Keeping me here, ready to hold on until the end of time
And all I can do is wait for you
For days and days and nights and days
I wait for you
But all around, the explosion of feathers,
I can't pretend that I don't see them
Isn't it strange, to be jealous of birds ?
Small creatures that are meant to live just a couple of years
But a couple of years, isn't that what a love should last ?
And our flame, well it just came and went away so fast
Now all I can do is wait for you
For days and days and nights and days
But all around, the explosion of feathers,
I can't pretend that I don't see them
