Текст песни One With The Birds

Leave me alone, is all that I say
When I have nothing, in me to give away
A purple martin in her house, she hollers at me
Why be inhuman? Why be like me?

Chorus:
Like so many robins, like so many doves
Like so many lovebirds with so many loves
Like the songs of the bobwhite
Without any words
When we are inhuman we're one with the birds

At six in the morning, you rise from the pillow
Stand steaming above me, I slumber below
You're one with the blankets, hanging fragrant and loose
You're one with a whipporwill,
You're one with a goose

Chorus

So tweet with me and widely spread
Your golden wings around my bed
And fly with me 'til we all are dead
And one with the birds

Like so many seagulls
Like so many hawks
Like so many thrushes
And so many storks

A little swallow will tell you
Without using heartrending, misleading words
When we are inhuman
We're one with the birds
"And if we hide our feelings, we may as well fly away"
