Lirik Lagu Birds - Rachael Yamagata

Send me a sign and I'll pass it on as best as I can

To the broken man who doesn't quite believe yet

But he's coming along 'cause he knows that he needs you

Oh, he needs you now

Drop me a line from an old friend and I'll know what to do

All these messages from you

It makes you think

He said: I had a dream of her last night

And I never do

Oh, I miss her so

Especially now when the world has gone so crazy

It's just so damn unfair to have to bear it on your own

You always made us laugh

And I'll remind him of that

The birds you're flying into my window

I'll make sure he knows

Yeah, I'll make sure he knows

All of this time we have held on - it's the best we can do

We are making it through

And it makes you think

What'll I do with all this time that I never do?

Oh, I miss her too

Especially now when the world has gone so crazy

I know it feels unfair to have to bear it on your own

You always made us laugh

And I'll remind him of that

The birds you're flying to my window

Saying hi when he feels so low

I'll make sure he knows

All that's been going on

You're watching through the trees

Saying: My dear, don't forget to love everything

And I'm still here

Especially now when the world has gone so crazy

I know it feels unfair to have to bear it on your own

You have to try and laugh - and I'll remind you of that

It's just a piece of glass

And it's funny you don't know

There is a window

There is a window
