A Bird Is A Song Lyrics - Singles - Chris Walla

Colorado, can you hear me? 

Are you listening, are you even there? 

Colorado, are you listening? 

Do you hear me, do you even care? 

The concrete canopy, mountains of symmetry 

The city policy, the city air 

The burroughs I've seen seem so unfair 

Still the feathers on the sidewalks I find there 

I do not need to speak, but I wanna listen 

To the tiniest of flights in their transmissions 

The words tied to their wings 

Well, they're the words I'm gonna sing 

The noise, small and strong and a bird is a song 

Torch the sails and set fire to our deals 

My heaven is here, my heaven is here 

Who would need escape, who would seek salvation 

From a place so bright and clear? 

I do not need to see but I need a vision 

A once seamless operation upon ignition 

The fuel that I sought away 

Will keep us through the darkest of days 

Will keep us well through winter's long 

And when springtime starts to broadcast birds are our song 

Keep your feathers clean and dry 

Keep your feathers clean and dry
