歌词

[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
