Paper Forest [Birds]
The birds were falling limbless from the skyFalling in nobody's eyes but mineThe birds were closing in again, I tryTo fight them back and find my way outsideSquinting like a newborn in the lightI walk for like an hour, maybe fiveYou're the only reason that I might findMy way, out here tonightI came here when the road was very dryThe road was dry as paper so I typedAnd in the accident of hands producing linesI hope to clear the birds away and give them flightAnd when you clear the birds away you see the skyAnd when you see the sky you know which way to treadAnd I think you're the only reasonThat I might, might, mightIlluminate the textSo I can see to where the grass is really bright, bright, brightMeet you there and know which way to stepOh my love you're always further than I'd likeAlways moving just ahead of me like timeAnd it isn't that I want to fall behindAnd it isn't that I don't know how to loveBut the world is made of paper so I typeLetras de cancionesI write but I could never write enoughNow I can see to where the grass is really bright, bright, brightBut I don't know if I'll ever make it outAnd all the birds are falling limbless from the skyFalling in nobody's eyes but mineAnd I'm squinting like a newborn in the lightSquinting like a newborn in the lightOf a paper forest starting to igniteOf a paper forest burning out of sightAnd I think you're the only reason, you're the reason, you're the reasonThe reason for the fireOohLet these paper forests burn and burn until they're downMaybe then the birds will herd, emerge and lead you outLet these paper forests burn and burn until they're downMaybe then the birds will herd, emerge and lead you out
