Natalie Merchant
Birds and Ships
[Verse]
The birds are singing in your eyes today
Sweet flowers blossom in your smile
The wind and sun are in the words you say
Where might your lonesome lover be?

[Verse]
Birds may be singing in my eyes this day
Sweet flowers blossom when I smile
But my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild
My sweetheart rides a ship on the sea

[Outro]
Though my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild
Where might my lonesome lover be?
