Once we tried to record the singin' birds Cable stretched for miles from your door Near the landing of the planes I never felt so plain Birds never sang the same again I take the train in the morning when it's still night out A night owl sings for the moonlight crowd On the frozen path to your bedroom door I walked beside you between sycamore I never told you this but on Christmas I saw you selling trees on avenue A Winter wind knows your paper skin Went to paris once -- I’ve never been There's a certain slant of light on madison tonight It shines on vines that grow in rows round Telephone wires never tire of carrying midnight crows Does the book of nightmares call across The valley of not knowing The wayward vine of winter time And where on earth it is growing And are your typewriter words for January third the key to the secret venue Perhaps you've heard singin' of the birds You can't change a person ever darling can you?
