I have an agreement with birds
Not the easiest deal ever heard
If I tell them secrets I have learned
They'll teach me to sing without words
A lot of people never touch birds
Disease! And dirty, we've learned
But I'm always shaking hands with the birds
I've never caught any germs
All they want, is to know how we live so long
Is there a certain song they must learn?
There was that part, plus, they wanna learn to trust
I said, “Give it a bit, it can be done”
Every time you see a dead bird
Do you wonder how he fell to the earth?
Did he get what he needed from the world?
Did he ever love? Did it hurt?
All they want, is to know how we live so long
Is there a certain song they must learn?
There was that part, plus, they wanna learn to trust
I said, “Give it a bit, it can be done”
I'm keeping my promise to the birds
Not the easiest deal ever heard
If I tell them secrets I have learned
They'll teach me to sing without words
