They Always Fly Away - Blouse

Do you want to follow me indoors?

Take the elevator to my floor

There’s a lonely blackbird on the telephone wire

He’s there most days

If we don’t have time for everything

Let’s at least sit quietly with him

Just long enough to notice when he flies away

Because he always flies away

And tomorrow everything will change

That’s what all our teachers used to say

We don’t need to wonder if the rows on our face

Will turn to grey

But since we know the movements of the stars

We know exactly where we are

And we’ll be together when the leaves are acting strange

We’ll watch them fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

There’s a mountain underneath the clouds

There’s a heaven underneath us now

Can you make out the diamonds on the edge of the sea

From where you lay?

There’s a blackbird sitting on a line

And we’re all here navigating time

Let’s watch him long enough until he flies away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away

They always fly away
