the red bird

I could reach you
Before the walls come down,
And we’ll dig up
All the diamond dreams
You discover,
In the depths below,
Upon your waking hour.

The red bird flies away,
The stone falls to the ground.
I must lay to rest
The weight of being found
Inside the perfect day
Without you.

You could teach me
How to remain still
And take notice
Of what’s in front of me,
Without staring
Far out into sea –
The blue inside of me.

The red bird flies away,
The stone falls to the ground.
I must lay to rest
The weight of being found
Inside the perfect day –

I will see you through (can I make it through),
Mend your broken wings (will you be the one).
I can’t lose you again.
These are perfect days –
These are perfect days.

The red bird flies away,
The stone falls to the ground.
I must lay to rest
The weight of being found
Inside the perfect day –

The red bird flies away,
Right now, can you feel it?
The stone falls to the ground.
I said, can you feel it?
I must lay to rest
The weight of being found
Inside the perfect day
Without you,
Without you,
Without you.
