Birds From a thousand miles away At a lonely time of day Leave it up to night to quietly remind us
Time Though it mostly slips away Doesn't seem to mind the way It's a midnight serenade Do you feel the same as I do
(Chorus) Close your eyes Think of what you have beside you Even I Understand the reasons why you stay
Oh I am stuck in someone else's shoes An unfamiliar view But I promise not to do the things they do
Oh I would never make you choose I have so much less to lose There's a world between these words and how we use them So don't confuse them
(Chorus) Close your eyes Think of what you have beside you Even I Understand the reasons why you stay
I hide behind the words that fall I wait for you to dream I sing so you might hear these words But sadly so might she She knows you disappear sometimes But knows that you will stay And so I end this story with One last serenade
Close your eyes Think of what you have beside you Even I Understand the reasons why you stay
