lyrics
A flock of birds fly over your head
You look down never to see them again
They fly south, passed the mountains
To an island away from here
May all their dreams come true
Cars drive by on the other side
As the sun goes down and rises somewhere else
The passersby blur the corner of your eye
The blue goes home to kiss his wife
And the red goes home to nothing
May all their dreams come true
Dodo
You hold it in for as long as you can
Until your chest is finally falling and rising again
As you drive south, passed the mountains
To an island away from here
May all your dreams come true
You look down never to see them again
They fly south, passed the mountains
To an island away from here
May all their dreams come true
Cars drive by on the other side
As the sun goes down and rises somewhere else
The passersby blur the corner of your eye
The blue goes home to kiss his wife
And the red goes home to nothing
May all their dreams come true
Dodo
You hold it in for as long as you can
Until your chest is finally falling and rising again
As you drive south, passed the mountains
To an island away from here
May all your dreams come true
