birds on the wind

tim mcfate

just a sliver of a moon
as i walk thru this town
yea it is trash night
and i am sacred bound
i am counting my steps
and i am looking at my hands
i am feeling your skin

some might say that i am a bird in the wind
i learned how to fly
it is time to begin

well i am watching the sky
seeing what it might do
i am thinking about the way i feel about you
i am watching the sky

i am just a bird in the wind
never learned how to fly like this before
it is time to begin

ya i give it away
something i never had till today
i look in your eyes
i see myself
i look in your eyes
i see myself
i see what you bring
i see what you have made
you carry it with you darling
it never fades

birds flying in the wind
ya we have never flown like this before
well it is time to begin

birds in the wind
birds on a wire
ya i have never seen a bird like me
a bird on fire
look at my hands
counting my steps
getting close to you
and all the rest
bird on the wind
bird on fire
when i fall asleep at night
so full of desire
i look to the west.
