A flock across my window Gone when I look around Until the sun gets longer They're getting out of town Where on earth in the world Do they go? Do their feathers freeze stiff In the snow? How should I know? But I can bet you they'll come Back to the same old tree Since I was crawling they've been Watching over me In the gardens That ripple in the water Climbing higher up Where nobody sees Look at the sky and spot the green And I heard that they weren't Meant to stay Anywhere the air chokes Or they get On the flyway So ride the rising currents I trust that I will see you again When I pick up the courage I hope that I can join you someday
