Sweet Bird Lyrics

Out on some borderline
Some mark of in between
I lay down golden in time
And woke up vanishingSweet bird you are
Briefer than a falling star
All these vain promises on beauty jars of
Somewhere with your wings on time
You must be laughingBehind our eyes
Calendars of our lives, circled with compromise
Sweet bird of time and change
You must be laughing
Up on your feathers laughingGolden in time
Cities under the sand
Power, ideals and beauty
Fading in everyone's handsGive me some time
I feel like I'm losing mine
Out here on this horizon lineWith the earth spinning
And the sky forever rushing

No one knows
They can never get that close
Guesses at mostGuesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
Guesses based on what each set of time and change is touching
