Bird Down (for Matty)

i woke up from the dream where you were snoring asleep.
you just stood there in the crowd staring into your drink.
where were you when all the lights cut out?
we stood there at the edge of it wondering how this would work out.

down down down the rains came. how did we get this way?
down down down the rains came. how did we get this way?

all the birds sang along in a row, strong and clear.
we believed in you, you didn't believe in you dear.
where were you when all the nights cut out?
we stood there at the edge of it wondering how this would work out.
