Chapin Sisters - Birds In My Garden lyrics

Why do I keep trying at romance
I am hopeless i'll never succeed
Every guy I try to talk to
Makes me feel like I'm crazy or mean

It's really time for a change

What's the use in making money
I'm in bed I might never climb out
There's a hole inside my mattress
Draining all hope and leaving the doubt
It's really time for a change

Tell me of times when the water was widе
And the money was free and the stars alignеd
And I'll write a song
Where nothing goes wrong
And the birds in my garden will sing along

When did it become so easy
To do nothing and still be alive
Every place I try to get to
I come so far but I never arrive

It's really time for a change

Tell me of times when the water was wide
And the money was free and the stars aligned
And I'll write a song
Where nothing goes wrong
And the birds in my garden will sing along
