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?
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/natalie+merchant/birds+and+ships_20825826.html ]
Birds maybe 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

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