lyrics

I called your name 
You said what for?  
Beat of wings, baby 
Nothing more 
Summer light 
Call it back 
Another feeling 
The window passed

And all the birds 
Leave the lake
 And all the times that I 
Heard you sing
 I never hear
 I always hear
 I only hear  
The song you sing

Radio 
Pretty song
 I can't hear 
Anymore 
Something more 
Than a baby in the way 
Wonder if you've seen it 
Once I was afraid

And all the birds 
Leave the lake
 And all the times that I 
Heard you sing
 And all the love
And all the fear
Are nothing more than what
Made things clear
 
 Who are you
 In the dark
 You play the game  I'll take 
The heart 
Call my name
 I'll be here 
Maybe things can change 
After all these years

And all the birds 
Leave the lake
 And all the times that I 
Heard you sing
 I never hear
 I always hear
 I only hear  
The song you sing
