Bird Heaven
(lyrics by Nick Craine)

i remember what it was like
a cool december night was crawling o'er those hills
we were dancing under a full moon
your papa left the house, and you left with him

so you took your dress and your pretty things
you took your heart 400 miles away from me
yah i can take it; i'm sure it won't be the last
i got lots of friends, you know, to keep me hanging on

so take a ride now baby,
i don't need no one to fake my way
so give me one thing girl before you hook your trailer down,
where do those birds go when they die?

yeah tomorrow is another day, another day in the trailer park
the leaves are turning again, and the winter starts,
so you're leaving, down to Peterborough to stay
your papa's got some work down there, he's gonna pull you through

so take a ride now baby,
i don't need no one to fake my way
so give me one thing girl before you hook your trailer down,
where do those birds go when they die?

we were standing in an empty parking lot holding hands by the cross road's side
down by that street lamp, a little dead birdie lay we put him in a shoe box, under a pile of leaves

so take a ride now baby,
i don't need no one to fake my way
so give me one thing girl before you hook your trailer down,
where do those birds go when they die?
