lyrics

The Birds

When the birds sit on the tree I know that time is up for me
The ivy twist, the lichen green, I'll know that time is up for me

When the birds fly overhead, I remonstrate then I forget
The septic hole that housed the dead, their lives now air, their words unsaid

There is a man in Inisheer with a machine with coloured gears
It scans for hope, it plunders fear, I owe that man ten pints of beer

But when the birds sit on the tree I’ll know that time is up for me
The ivy twist, the lichen green, I’ll see the signs in everything
