sad song

from asifyouwerethesea by Art Of Flying

/

lyrics

hear the hummingbird in my window
staring straight at me
say: "get yr guitar boy & sing me into pretty poetry."
We are flutter flashing red inside our heart's memory

everybody knows life comes & life goes
but still I'm so sad today

getting lucky as a glimmer in yr star-shaped ring
of the miracle 10,000 ways I sing
like a guru like a pretty girl that changes everything

everybody knows love comes & love goes
but still I'm so sad today

what was that clever thing
I told to you only yesterday?
it slips my mind now but I know it won't
do me much good today
I thought the bird was free
but no one gives the answer away.

everybody knows light comes & light goes
but still I'm so sad today.
