One with the Birds (Live)-David Gray

[00:00.00] Leave me alone, is all that I say [00:23.10]When I have nothing, in me to give away [00:35.07]A purple martin in her house, she hollers at me [00:47.61]Why be inhuman? Why be like me? [00:56.88]Chorus: [00:59.55]Like so many robins, like so many doves [01:12.27]Like so many lovebirds with so many loves [01:22.02]Like the songs of the bobwhite [01:30.57]Without any words [01:36.66]When we are inhuman we're one with the birds [01:48.75]At six in the morning, you rise from the pillow [02:00.93]Stand steaming above me, I slumber below [02:13.68]You're one with the blankets, hanging fragrant and loose [02:26.01]You're one with a whipporwill, [02:28.92]You're one with a goose [03:23.85]Chorus [03:29.49]So tweet with me and widely spread [03:41.40]Your golden wings around my bed [03:53.58]And fly with me 'til we all are dead [04:04.50]And one with the birds [04:08.82]Like so many seagulls [04:14.91]Like so many hawks [04:20.94]Like so many thrushes [04:26.88]And so many storks [04:32.46]A little swallow will tell you [04:38.91]Without using heartrending, misleading words [04:45.03]When we are inhuman [04:51.00]We're one with the birds [04:54.45]\" And if we hide our feelings, we may as well fly away \"
