WHY BIRDS GO SOUTH
Verse
Why birds go south, do they have a cure?
What is wrong with north, is it that cold?
Do they feel the frost coming
Before it arrives?
Do they hear the quiet
Breaking their skies?
They leave without warning
No notes. No sound
Just wings in cold mornings
Over hollow ground
Trees learned how to bend
Leaves learned goodbye
I stayed in the quiet
Too tired to fly
Chorus
Why birds go south — do they have a cure?
Or is leaving the only way to endure?
Why birds go south — do they have a cure?
Or am I the one without a cure?
Bridge
If we don’t have each other now
Maybe we meet when we’re old
By the Sun Voyager
I’ll board it before you do
Coz I can’t afford to lose you all over again
Final Chorus
Why birds go south — do they have a cure?
Or is leaving the only way to endure?
Why birds go south — do they have a cure?
Or am I the one without a cure?
