lyrics
Ballet of birds in the sky
Exploded out of a treetop on the side of the road,
Casting its net, catching dreams
Of every last sleeper on his way to being free.
Silently we sing to each other
Like two lovers on the wing,
Breathlessly we inhale every colour
As far as the eye can see,
A ballet of birds.
Drifting along, not a cloud
To answer any shadow’s mischievous ways,
A lacework of song ‘gainst the blue
They rise and they fall like the breaking of a wave
And they dance like a thousand kisses
Caught in a tornado’s spin,
Feathered hands caressing the spaces we are crowded in, This romance with loneliness survives on the tails of the wind, Beating fast invisible hearts ever changin,.
A ballet of birds.
Exploded out of a treetop on the side of the road,
Casting its net, catching dreams
Of every last sleeper on his way to being free.
Silently we sing to each other
Like two lovers on the wing,
Breathlessly we inhale every colour
As far as the eye can see,
A ballet of birds.
Drifting along, not a cloud
To answer any shadow’s mischievous ways,
A lacework of song ‘gainst the blue
They rise and they fall like the breaking of a wave
And they dance like a thousand kisses
Caught in a tornado’s spin,
Feathered hands caressing the spaces we are crowded in, This romance with loneliness survives on the tails of the wind, Beating fast invisible hearts ever changin,.
A ballet of birds.
