lyrics

I see the hawks in glide / Parallel across an empty sky
Circle together 'till he starts to dive / And leaves her winging
I stand in the howling rain / Washed away by hidden shame
Contemplate the rules of a game / I'm never winning
And the call comes in on time / I get in the car and drive
Till the wind comes down
Ask me and I'll play the fool / Promenade around the lonely room
Penetrate the silence with a tune / To keep you spinning
I don't think I have the words / To eclipse the piety of birds
Come to grips with this minor third / And leave you singing
And the call comes in on time / I get in the car and drive
Till the wind comes down
The wind comes down / Runs through the airfoil
That brings all birds out to sea
I see the doves in flight / Carousels in the morning light
Silhouette against the blue in white / And I'm still winging
And the call comes in on time / I get in the car and drive
On the run to the other side / Catch my wings and I start to glide
Till the wind comes down
