Bic Runga Lyrics
"Birds"

Take your time make peace with the day,
Lying on the ground think of me,
And never mind what people will say,
Talking is thoughtless and cheep

I only said it to be kind,
I won't pretend to be naive,
And thoughts arrive like leaves on the page,
Trying and hoping to be,

You and i like birds in a cage,
Dreaming how once we were free,
The evening closes on the wire,
I saw you hiding in the eaves,
Don't leave me hanging on the wire,
A shadow underneath the trees

I only want you to be mine,
I only want you to be free,
If either one of us is right,
It must be seen to be believed

I only want you to be mine,
I only want you to be free
