Birds

Take your time make peace with the day,

Lying on the ground think of me,

And never mind what people will say,

Talking is thoughtless and cheep



I only said it to be kind,

I won't pretend to be naive,

And thoughts arrive like leaves on the page,

Trying and hoping to be,



You and i like birds in a cage,

Dreaming how once we were free,

The evening closes on the wire,

I saw you hiding in the eaves,

Don't leave me hanging on the wire,

A shadow underneath the trees



I only want you to be mine,

I only want you to be free,

If either one of us is right,

It must be seen to be believed



I only want you to be mine,

I only want you to be free
