beneath the covers
alone in the dark
she listens to the birds that live in her heart

she hurts and she cries
the melody sad and sweet
yet no matter how hard she tries
she still hears each and every tweet

i met you
as the leaves fell
and the sky turned grey

the world grew cold
as my heart turned warm

i missed you
as the leaves grew back
and the sky turned blue

the world grew warm
as my heart turned cold
