Oh northbound bird in flight

wish you would take me with you

from this place where no love is in sight

where the color unlike your backdrop sky

is a deeper shade of blue



Her anger still seems to be, etched in stone

unchanged and undaunted, by nights alone

insane and unwanted, this bird has flown

for I have grown older, and she has grown colder

same angered Sunshine, tell by her email tone



So call it as you see it, but we both know the truth

tell all who will believe it, if your conscience will be soothed

I’ll choose to keep you on this pedestal

Lie to my heart, if not to my paradigm mind

Someday maybe another will bestow

perhaps upon you what awaits, will only come with time



And if someday you should look to the sky

and gaze upon a southbound bird in flight

should you too, feel a deeper shade of blue

decide you can’t take another lonely night

Find that love is an answer, not a question or a fight

that it doesn’t matter, who is wrong, or who is right

When you cannot get any sadder, and don’t want to give, anymore pain

Look for me, run to me, and come to me, for I’ll love you...just the same
