| [00:46.50] |
The air was thick like honey |
| [00:50.31] |
Looking from a room |
| [00:54.06] |
The room had open windows |
| [00:57.78] |
To let this springtime through |
| [01:01.71] |
Evening stood by watching |
| [01:04.70] |
At the side of summer's promise |
| [01:09.00] |
The flowers in her garden |
| [01:12.51] |
Were the envy of her friends |
| [01:16.44] |
How far are we from dying |
| [01:19.98] |
Is it nearly at an end |
| [01:23.79] |
How far are we from dying |
| [01:27.21] |
Is it nearly at an end |
| [01:31.17] |
The smoke hung on the skyline |
| [01:34.77] |
The city fell in silence |
| [01:38.40] |
The sunset ripe and mellow |
| [01:41.52] |
Was the light to write some thoughts by |
| [01:45.72] |
Her children watched for father |
| [01:48.57] |
From a window in the wall |
| [01:53.01] |
Said a prayer for grandpapa |
| [01:56.61] |
And maybe many more |
| [02:00.18] |
Somewhere in the distance |
| [02:03.42] |
On the road so far away |
| [02:07.47] |
I heard the sound of life |
| [02:10.83] |
With all the people left for home |
| [02:44.13] |
Three birds flew off a building |
| [02:47.34] |
Standing proud against the sky |
| [02:52.26] |
Many more flew with them |
| [02:54.60] |
Spiralled upward like laughter |
| [02:59.04] |
Faster harder |
| [03:02.46] |
They rose up in a column |
| [03:06.18] |
Hundreds upon hundreds |
| [03:09.78] |
And twice that many wingspeed |
| [03:13.53] |
Four miles across |
| [03:16.08] |
Stretched a million miles high |
| [03:20.64] |
The living pulsing column |
| [03:24.15] |
In the lady of the sky |
| [03:28.23] |
Feathers thrashed together |
| [03:31.83] |
Blocked in that huge swarm |
| [03:34.62] |
I knew no one could see it |
| [03:38.91] |
And now that it was gone |
| [03:42.51] |
I rubbed my eyes but tried to find |
| [03:46.05] |
A reason for the flight |
| [03:50.04] |
Exodus escape |
| [03:52.53] |
Or was it just for me to see |
| [03:56.37] |
Like the mating of the earth and air |
| [04:00.33] |
Like water is to flowers |
| [04:04.20] |
The envy of her friends |
| [04:07.26] |
How far are we from dying |
| [04:09.00] |
Is it nearly at an end |
| [04:11.76] |
How far are we from dying |
| [04:15.63] |
Is it nearly at an end |
| [04:16.41] |
How far are we from dying |
| [04:21.39] |
Is it nearly at an end |
| [04:26.67] |
How far are we from dying |
| [04:28.68] |
Is it nearly at an end |
| [04:29.31] |
How far are we from dying |
| [04:30.69] |
Is it nearly at an end |
| [04:35.40] |
How far are we from dying |
| [04:37.53] |
Is it nearly at an end |
| [04:38.28] |
How far are we from dying |
| [04:43.26] |
Is it nearly at an end |
