The birds
Are the kee - pers of our se - cret
As they saw us where we lay
In the dee - pest grass of spring - time
In a reck - less guil - ty haze
And they wove a sweet in - diff - erence
And it set - tled on our skin
Till the eyes that I re - mem - bered
For the last time drew me in
Verse
The birds
Though I wore your gla - cial pa - tience
To a smudge of bi - tter dust
On the last day you em - braced me
With a gliste - ning sap - ling trust
Did they sing a mill - ion ble - ssings
As they watched us slow - ly part
Do they keep those fi - nal ki - sses
In their ti - ny ra - cing hearts

What are we gonna do with you...
Same tale, every time
What are we gonna do with you, come on inside
Looking back is for the birds
What are we gonna do with you...
Same tale, every time
What are we gonna do with you, come on inside
Looking back is for the birds
What are we gonna do with you...
Same tale, every time
What are we gonna do with you, come on inside
Looking back is for the birds
What are we gonna do with you...
Same tale, every time
What are we gonna do with you, come on inside
Looking back is for the birds
Verse
Ohhhhhh, the birds
Are the kee - pers of our se - cret
As they saw us where we lay
In the dee - pest grass of spring - time
In a reck - less guil - ty haze
Did they sing a mill - ion ble - ssings
As they watched us slow - ly part
Do they keep those fi - nal ki - sses
In their ti - ny ra - cing hearts
What are we gonna do with you...
Looking back is for the birds
What are we gonna do with you...
