A Fine Frenzy - Bird Of The Summer lyrics

You came with the season
As the first swallow sang
A brown headed stranger
With a five letter name do
Do, do, do, do, do, do

We planted our kisses where
The wild berries grow
My feet sprouted wings and I flew all the
Way home do, do, do, do, do, do, do

My cheeks red like fire engines racing
Straight to the heat of your skin
And I know the days are numbered
Early bird of the summer
You'll fly south just as the fall begins

The leaves changed our color
And the schoolyards were filled
My coat with the patches
Barely keeps out the chill do
Do, do, do, do, do

You sent me a postcard from
A town out of state
I wish it were warmer and I hope you're
The same do, do, do, do, do, do, do

The fields where we wandered were golden
Now only mud in my boots
And I know I should recover
You're the bird of the summer
I was wrong to try and capture you

Flight, flight flight, flight

I met someone walkin' in a park by the lake
He don't fly like we did but he
Don't fly away do, do, do, do, do

Gone is the pale hand of winter
Here is the first flush of May

And soon I will discover
Whether birds of the summer
Fly in circles or just fly away
