Larry Fisherman - Birthday lyrics

Oh, there's a bird on the lawn!
I think it must be a
Nightingale come over on the
Cunard or the White Star
Line, he's singing away
It's romantic isn't it Tom?

Yes, it is romantic

It had been a golden afternoon
And I remember having the
Familiar conviction that life
Was beginning over again with the summer

It was what preyed on him
What foul dust floated in the
Wake of his dreams

The day before we left we have had a great
Conversation with Dalai Lama
He talked about ways to avoid wars
How to save the environment
And the world population
How to avoid global catastrophes that
Our civilization will face
He talked about the simplest things
And it seemed that in his words
There wasn't anything new for us
But this conversation made us look at
The world in a different way
