Night Birds

There is a place behind your house
Where I use to hide no one could find me
You would come around 'do you mind if I stay now'
Let all the words dry in the air, pick the one that would let us in
Your voice will unlock the door
What is out there anyway

*You said you want to see me now
But now I just don't want to know
I've been living with these feelings for so long
And I don't need to make sense of you anymore...
Take you coat and your hat
And all those insightful facts

You put a scarecrow on the moon, with a violin string you tide him on a stone
What a great surprise to know
The night birds kept coming
I send you my congratulations for dealing with the past the way you did
Walking fast keeping a straight face, trying not to laugh thinking of you

*You said you want to see me now...
