Bird whisperer, bird whisperer,
Oh, can’t you see?
You’re chasing tiredly after
A thing that can’t be.

They flutter softly away
Into the pale blue sky
As you watch them leave,
You wonder why

Why they don’t stay,
Stay near the light
Instead they hide away,
In the black haunting night.

Bird whisperer, bird whisperer,
Oh, can’t you see?
Instead of wishing for something,
Just let it be.
