lyrics

So I met a man, who made figures of birds with his hands. They were carved from a tree that was grown from a seed that was picked carefully. "Go fly away," he said to me, "Like my friends over here. Go fly away and let them see how you fare."

So I met a girl, who was told to stand tall in good stead. After we spoke I found that I'd already heard what she said. "Go find yourself," she said to me with concern in her voice. "I'm tired of pretending," I replied.

So I met a child and her eyes were the deepest of blue. She said nothing at all as she stared back at me, but at least I knew it was true. One day you'll see the dreams that you dreamed - well, some of them will fade…it’s what you do with the ones that have stayed, what you do with the ones that have stayed.

Then suddenly- The birds they have flown away and I wish that the girl would tell stories that I've already heard.
Then suddenly, the child who stared back at me, is telling the truth and nothing hurts more than the truth in the end.
