I spent my last birthday in tears
I won't make that mistake again
Walking in the woods to clear my thoughts
With birds keeping me melodic company
I give a round of applause after their impromptu performance
The attention they receive from me is the attention I hope for on my special day this year
The way they they make their exit is the way I wish I could make my entrance
On wings
Landing from an elegant flight fashionably late
But bones are not quite hollow enough yet

I won't make that mistake again
Walking in the woods to clear my thoughts

The way they they make their exit is the way I wish I could make my entrance
On wings
Landing from an elegant flight fashionably late
But bones are not quite hollow enough yet
