A Bird of Prey Vanishes into a Bright Blue Cloudless Sky - David Sylvian

I don't know how much longer I can wait for you You got me feeling tired You got me so confused I spend my morning trying Just to shake my mood I spend my whole afternoon Staring up at the moon In a sky of blue I'm in a sky of blue In a sky of blue Just waiting for you Just waiting for you Just waiting for you I never feel quite as good As when I'm laying by you I wish it'd last all night And then the whole day through If we're living a lie I don't give a damn about truth I'll just keep on looking Up at the moon In a sky of blue I'm in a sky of blue I'm in a sky of blue Just waiting for you Just waiting for you Just waiting for you Just waiting for you Just waiting for you Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh Ahhhh

Little birdie Little birdie Little birdie Little birdie I'll set my broken bone with a twist and a crack Now your cover's blown, you buried me, but I came back You've stolen my tomorrow, so I come for it today You stole it when you stole my yesterday Little birdie Little birdie Little birdie Little birdie Here in my heart, I hear you far away Deep in the dark, my little bird of prey I have your mark Well, I'm flying through the rag, crack the whip from my calèche I have the horse's speed and if I need the horse's flesh Fire for the tallow, but I still can't find the way You stole it when you stole my yesterday Here in my heart, I hear you far away Deep in the dark, my little bird of prey I have your mark, I hear you far way Deep in my heart, my little bird of prey I have your mark Little birdie Little birdie Little birdie Little birdie

I hear your voice Way down inside A whispering sea Of towering trees But no reply A silence so rare And more than I can stand Sweeps like a flood Through life's flesh and blood And steals away with it's heart If I'm losing you Then there's nothing more that I can say The fighting is on And battles are won Or thrown away But if I could live Safe and sound In God given fields Or mountains of steel Then here I'd stay Till you'd gone Guilty of stealing Every thought I own I will take my turn To fight the bullfight Every word's sunk in deep Like the blades of a knife through my heart But my strength will return To fight the bullfight As time's come to show I'm told nothing more than I should know A ship on the sea that threatens to leave But never goes This island of blue Where life clings to your hands Like water and sand Will loose it's way When you're gone When all's forgiven Still every fault's my own I will take my turn To fight the bullfight Say a prayer for my release When every hope in the world is asleep And my strength will return To fight the bullfight

I see your eyes light up like fire It's medicine to me But as the hunted live their lives You're keeping out of reach So I keep running, falling Till I reach the water Run with me holyman But when I reach out I find I'm standing right beside her Now we're living Blessed with all the thunder in the world Now, should you ask me to come home To wake up from the sleep Like a boat inside a storm Is there no hope for me? So I keep running, falling Wade into the water Run with me riverman But when I reach out I find I'm standing right beside her Now we're living Blessed with all the thunder in the world
