The bird that's sitting at my window is not a bird of paradise
But I listened to him singing for a word of your advice
You were a mystery, how strong the current beneath the calming sea
He drops a feather as he leaves me, and I'm left to think of you
How your demeanour was your shield, how we sheltered in it too
I think where would I be without your guidance
Through these cold stormy seas
Our time's an ever distant land
But this one white feather is in my hand
So much I should have told you, so much I wish you'd said
But how I love your presence, it's always in my head
That's my hourly reminder of a time when we were close
When you're young you take for granted all the love, the highs and lows
You were a mystery, a calming surface, what rages underneath
Our time's an ever distant land
But this one white feather is in my hand
So much I should have told you, so much I wish you'd said
But how I love your presence, it's always in my head
So much I should have told you, so much I wish you'd said
But man I love your presence, it's always in my head
