Birds Bic Runga

Take your time make peace with the day
Lying on the ground and cold feet
And never mind what people will say
Talking is thoughtless and cheep

I only said it to be kind
I won't pretend to be naive
And thoughts arrive like leaves on the page
Trying and hoping to be

You and i like birds in a cage
Dreaming how once we were free
The evening closes on the wire
I saw you hiding in the eves
Dont leave me hanging all the while
A shadow underneath the trees

I only want you to be mine
I only want you to be free
If either on of us is right
It must be sealed to be believed

I only want you to be mine
I only want you to be free
