Emiliana Torrini - Birds

Birds

Let's stay awake and listen to the dark
Before the birds, before they all wake up
It's the ending of a play
And soon begins another
Hear, the leaves applaud the wind

See the sun come rising
And white-wings start to fly
Like strings of pearls in the firey sky
I don't wanna close my eyes
Don't wanna leave the stage now
The leaves applaud our stay

Lend me your wings and teach me how to fly
Show me, when it rains
The place you go to hide
And the curtains draw again
And bow another day ends
The leaves applaud the wind
