I saw the last of the brightly colored birds |
|
check out of maine for the other world. |
|
and you ask me how much longer we have to stay here. |
|
but I'm not at liberty to say. |
|
and what flowers there were around kingston are blue. |
|
I ripped them up from the dry soil and draped them over you. |
|
we saw the last of the bright colored birds coming home. |
|
I saw you address them through your megaphone. |
|
and you asked me when we were leaving. |
|
well, it's any day now. |
|
and what flowers there were around trenchtown were red. |
|
I stole them from the hands of children. |
|
I braided them around your head. |
