There Used To Be Birds Lyrics - The Spin We're In - Astropol

I wrote a note for when you came back in the evening 

I tried to pin it to your back when you were leaving 

I thought your voice would be the least I ever heard 

There used to be birds 

You used to need me like a werewolf needs the moon 

Like your mother needs a cocktail before noon 

Oh every language needs an unspeakable word 

There used to be birds 

The birds that sing when the sky is blue 

know how to sing in the nighttime too 

so I suppose the know about me and you 

I try to behave in case you're watching from afar 

from somewhere up there, where there used to be stars 

You never used to leave a mission incomplete 

There used to be birds singing outside in the street
