Deacon Blue - Birds Lyrics
We were the sailors in the summer
In the winter we climbed the hills
We were swimmers for a season
Even out to sea you'd see us
Trails of sand back to the road
There's nothing left there to teach us
Only the knowledge of your going
Were we folks you recognised
When we came into your view?
Did you notice who we were
Or were we strange shapes in truth?
Maybe it was how the light fell
Perhaps a storm had just passed over
Or perhaps we were never there
The land will surely come
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
We were sailors in the summer
In the winter we stayed in
No one heard us break the water
Or saw our shapes on the horizon
We were strangers on the coast
Outsiders to the land
No one thought to ask us questions
No one thought to understand
We were prisoners to the city
We had nowhere else to go
All our dreams like fallen leaves
On some unremembered road
Sometimes no land would come
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
We're high above jail walls and windows
We're high above the waves of worry
We're floating on the wind
Cause nothing can begin
To make us want to land again
One day
One day
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
One day we're gonna be free
As the birds
