The birds are singing in your eyes this day
Sweet flowers blossom in your smile
The wind and sun are in the words you say
Where might your lonesome lover be?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/billy+bragg/birds+ships_20018182.html ]
Birds maybe singing in my eyes today
Sweet flowers blossom when I smile,
But my soul is stormy and my heart blows wild,
My sweetheart rides a ship on the sea

WORDS: Woody Guthrie - MUSIC: Billy Bragg 1997
