Lyrics
Don't look now, the nest is empty.
Don't look now, the nest is empty,
And it's empty like it's never been before.
Fly away into the fall air.
Fly away and leave the room bare.
If there's nothing left behind you lock the door.
When left to one's own resources
In come many tiny horses
And they colour life but waste all daylight hours.
When there's no one there worth seeing,
And you're left with simply being,
Then it's hard to see the point in taking showers.
Sweep each other up into flight.
Sleep here under my wings tonight.
Have to say it, have to mention-
If you're up for un-conventional-
There's always room beneath these wings for more.
Not sure what it's really good for,
What the code words really stood for,
But there's sweeping, soaring, gale-force winds, I'm sure.
Sweep each other up into flight.
Sleep here under my wings tonight.
It's beginning to show-
What you're like, when you like what you think you know.
You're beginning to see
That we all are birds and we like to be
Alone together.
At home together.
A nest of feathers,
And strings,
And wings.
Sweep each other up into flight.
Sleep here under my wings tonight.
Alone together.
At home together.
A nest of feathers,
And strings,
And wings.
