Elbow - The Birds lyrics
The birds are the keepers of our secret 
As they saw us where we lay 
In the deepest grass of springtime 
In a reckless guilty haze 
And they wove a sweet indifference 
And it settled on our skin 
Till the eyes that I remembered 
For the last time drew me in 
The birds, though I wore your glacial patience 
To a smudge of bitter dust 
On the last day you embraced me 
With a glistening sapling trust 
Did they sing a million blessings 
As they watched us slowly part? 
Do they keep those final kisses 
In their tiny racing hearts 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Same tale every time 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Come on inside 
Looking back is for the birds 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Same tale every time 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Come on inside 
Looking back is for the birds 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Same tale every time 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Come on inside 
Looking back is for the birds

What are we gonna do with you? 
Same tale every time 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Come on inside 
Looking back is for the birds 
The birds are the keepers of our secret 
As they saw us where we lay 
In the deepest grass of springtime 
In a reckless guilty haze 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Same tale every time 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Come on inside 
Looking back is for the birds 
Did they sing a million blessings 
As they watched us slowly part? 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Same tale every time 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Come on inside 
Looking back is for the birds 
Do they keep those final kisses 
In their tiny racing hearts 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Same tale every time 
What are we gonna do with you? 
Come on inside 
Looking back is for the birds 
What are we gonna do with you? 
What are we gonna do with you?
