Lyrics

From high above on a window sill,
there's a little peace that I can feel
as I watch people choose their course,
and it seems so harmless.
But far below in their hearts I know
there's a little piece that doesn't show,
thru enemy lines I've been hoping to find
something immune to the whims of time.

In the storm I hear the beautiful bird sing so sweet
and I'd have sworn I'd heard,
'Come on back to me and I will fill you up so completely'.

Well I don't know where the feeling goes...
it's in there somewhere I suppose.
Like so many songs that time has known,
with beauty deep but never shown.
I've felt your love, it's what I want to know.
Does it just need some room to grow?
Well time after time I've tried to find
love that will save but my eyes are blind.

In the storm I hear the beautiful bird sing so sweet
and I'd have sworn I'd heard,
'Come on back to me and I will fill you up so completely'

Thru the storm I hear the somber refrain,
'If you're gonna love you've got to embrace some pain'.
But what's the scale, how do I know
what to hold, and when the test of love is letting go?

In the storm I hear the beautiful bird sing so sweet
and I'd have sworn I'd heard,
'Come on back to me and I will fill you up so ...',

But from the safety of my bird's eye view
I keep repeating things I thought I knew.
But time, like a river, can wash away
the certainty of those yesterdays.
