Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds? We would light up the sky, when we’d fly You were orange and red like the sun when it sets I was green as an apple’s eye You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing But nothing like you’d ever heard And I said I loved you with all of my heart When we were two beautiful birds Do you remember when we were two beautiful birds? We would say when the morning would come You are silver and blue like the moon when it’s new I was gold as the summer sun But one day you asked for a different song One that I just couldn’t sing I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong Those were the last days of spring To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests Like a book tearing out every page We want to know that these feathers would grow Into a beautiful cage
