Songbirds

(ｆｅｌｌａｓｌｅｅｐｉｎａｓｈｅｌｔｅｒ)

Fell asleep in a shelter,

(ｍａｄｅｏｕｔｏｆｏｌｄｊｕｎｋ)

Made out of old junk,

(ａｆｔｅｒｔｈｅｓｔｏｒｍ)

After the storm.

(ｎｏｃｌｕｅｗｈｅｒｅｗｅｒｅｆｌｙｉｎｇｔｏ)

No clue where we're flying to,

(ｆｅｅｌｉｎｇｓｏａｎｘｉｏｕｓ)

Feeling so anxious.

(ｅａｃｈｓｐｒｉｎｇｔｉｍｅ)

Each spring time,

(ｗｅｒｅｆｌａｐｐｉｎｇａｂｏｕｔｌｉｋｅｐｌａｓｔｉｃｂａｇｓ)

Wereflappingaboutlikeplasticbags

(ｔｈｅｇｈｏｓｔｓｂａｎｉｓｈｅｄｆｒｏｍｍｙｄｉａｒｙ)

The ghosts banished from my diary,

(ｗｈｉｃｈｉｂｕｒｎｔｉｎｅａｒｌｙｓｕｍｍｅｒ)

Which I burnt in early summer.

(ａｒｕｓｔｉｎｇｓｏｕｎｄｉｎｔｈｅｃｏｒｒｉｄｏｒ)

A rusting sound in the corridor,

(ｓｏｍｅｗｈｅｒｅｉｎｍｙｈｅａｒｔ)

Somewhere in my heart.

(ｔｈｒｏｕｇｈｔｈｅｆｒｏｓｔｅｄｗｉｎｄｏｗ)

Through the frosted window,

(ｉｆｉｗａｓａｗａｒｅｏｆｔｈｅｅｙｅｓｂｅｈｉｎｄｔｈｅｌｅｎｓ)

IfIwasawareoftheeyesbehindthelens,

(ｈｏｗｗｏｕｌｄｉｓｉｎｇ)

How would I sing?

(ｇｏｌｄｅｎｒｅｆｌｅｃｔｉｏｎｓｏｆｏｕｒｌｉｆｅ)

Golden reflections of our life,

(ｉｎｔｈｅａｆｔｅｒｎｏｏｎｓｕｎｌｉｇｈｔ)

In the afternoon sunlight.

(ｃｈｏｃｏｌａｔｅｓｍｅｌｔｉｎｇｉｎｍｙｐｏｃｋｅｔ)

Chocolates melting in my pocket.

(ｂｙｍａｋｉｎｇｉｔａｓｏｎｇ)

By making it a song,

(ｃａｎｉｋｅｅｐｔｈｅｍｅｍｏｒｙ)

Can I keep the memory?

(ｉｊｕｓｔｃａｍｅｔｏｌｏｖｅｉｔｎｏｗ)

I just came to love it now.

(ｔｈｅｔｗｏｌｉｎｅｓｃｏｍｅｃｌｏｓｅａｎｄｔｈｅｎｇｅｔａｗａｙ)

(ｓｏｍｅｅａｓｙｔｒｉｃｋｓｏｎｃａｔｓｃｒａｄｌｅ)

Some easy tricks on Cat's Cradle,

(ｔｈａｔｉｃａｎｔｄｏｓｏｗｅｌｌａｎｙｍｏｒｅ)

That I can't do so well any more.

(ｏｎａｍｕｓｉｃａｌｓｔａｖｅ)

On a musical stave,

(ｓｅａｓｏｎｓｐａｓｓｓｏｆａｓｔ)

Seasons pass so fast.

(ｅａｃｈｓｐｒｉｎｇｔｉｍｅ)

Each spring time,
