Birds (Emiliana Torrini)

C
C
Let’s stay awake
Em
And listen to the dark
C
Before the birds
Em
Before they all wake up
C
It’s the ending of a play
G
And soon begins another
F
E
Hear the leaves applaud the wind

C
See the sun come rising
Em
And white winds start to fly
C
Like strings of pearls
Em
In the fiery sky
C
I don’t want to close my eyes
G
Don’t want to leave the stage now
F
E
Hear, the leaves applaud our stay

Lend me your wings
Em
And teach me how to fly
C
Show me when it rains
Em
The place you go to hide
C
N’ the curtains draw again
G
N’ bow another day and
F
E
the leaves applaud the wind
