Bic Runga - Birds

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 wont pretend to be nieve,
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 eeves,
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
