lyrics

Nightbird - Duo Version

I’m standing at the door
crying let me in
I see her dancing there in all her wonder
How her body moves, with eternal youth
and her footsteps hammer on like rolling thunder

While I’m stuck here in the shadows
fueling the dream
Another face just flashing in the night
The smoke it folds around me
like unenchanted wings
as I listen to the nightbirds singing in their flight

Oh close this great divide
between my heart and mind

Once she held me in my anguish
Pulled me from my pain
and sheltered me from life’s mysteries
Somewhere beyond the darkness
lies incredible light
At least that’s what she once made me believe

So go dive in empty spaces
where magic weaves and spins
Go find her there, it’s where she set me free
Now I’m pulling chains from every corner of her memory
Go find her there and bring her back to me

Oh close this great divide
Between my heart and mind

Just listen to the nightbirds
Listen to the nightbirds
Listen to the nightbirds
Listen to the nightbirds

Well if I could turn my back now
and lay back down with you
I’d pull you in and finally get some sleep
Listening to the nightbirds
without wondering how
they hold her in their song so casually
