lyrics

I haven’t spoken in three days
But I don’t have much to say to anyone

Birds are sitting on the wire

Licking each others feathers
Getting ready to send my letters
To the one I said I love

Oh, they whisper so,
Do they know?
Oh, the whisper so,
Do they know what I don’t know?

I used to sing with them, with the freedom of their wings
Now how I envy them, with the bending of my limbs
I used to sing with them, our words were taken with the wind
And by surprise, I can’t rescue him,
I write him letters

from the darkness of the night
from the two birds on the wire

It all goes back to stardust
And you and I we nothing once
Now, I’m living in this neverland forevermore

I haven’t gone outside
Oh my aching soul is tired

Birds are calling from the wire

I’m running out of ink
And without it I cant think

Oh they whisper so,
Do they know?
Oh, they whisper so,
Do they know what I don’t know?

It all goes back to stardust
And you and I we nothing once
Now, I’m living in this neverland forevermore

Green and red skyline then
As we bled between the moon
And the stars where the pieces created
This movement of light
Two birds on a wire

It all goes back to stardust
And you and I we nothing once
Now, I’m living in this neverland forevermore
