Emiliana Torrini – Birds
Let’s stay awake
and listen to the dark.
Before the birds,
before they all wake up.
It’s the ending of a play
and soon begins another.
Hear the leaves applaud the wind.
Oooh…
See the sun come rising
and white-wings start to fly.
Like strings of pearls
in the fiery sky.
I don’t want to close my eyes,
don’t want to leave the stage now,
As the leaves applaud our stay.
Lend me your wings
and teach me how to fly.
Show me when it rains,
the place you go to hide.
And the curtains draw again
and bow – another day ends.
The leaves applaud the wind.
Oooh…
