Theresa Andersson — Birds Fly Away lyrics

Lyrics

I’m sitting on my stoop
Just thinking about the friends I used to know
Summers were spent outside
Snapping time on our thighs
Smiling as the boys walked by And then a breeze begins to blow
And I know it’s time to go inside
But when birds fly away
They seek shelter
Trees stand strong
They don’t falter
I’m walking down the street
The people we pass nod our heads and go Shuffle our feet away, never more than «hello»
One more will not stop by Like a photograph I took
One of many in a book I lost to time
Don’t fade away
Turn 'round
Stay for the day
In my town
Birds fly away
They seek shelter
Trees stand strong
They don’t falter
Birds fly away
They seek shelter
Trees stand strong
They don’t falter
