Birds

Take your time

Make peace with the day

Lie on the ground think of me

And never mind what people say

Talking is thoughtless and cheap

I only said it to be kind

I won't pretend to be naive

And thoughts arrive like leaves on the page

Trying and hoping to be

You and I like birds in a cage

Dreaming how once we were free

The evening closes on the wild

I saw you hiding in the eaves

Don't leave me hanging on the wire

A shadow underneath the trees

I only want you to be mine

I only want you to be free

If either one of us is right

It must be seen to be believed

I only want you to be mine

I only want you to be free
