lyrics

The birds fly on in, an hour before the sun goes down
They’ve come a long ways, soaring for days
and it’s good too see em’ come back around
Resting till dawn, a thousand will rise,
And then they’re gone away
Back to their lives, up in the sky,
maybe they’ll come back someday

Like the stars coming in, up in the sky
Brought back again, for you and I
Taken away, and given anew
It’s a good life we’re living, and I’m enjoying the view

This land is as good a piece as I could ever find
A little place to rest a head,
cotton sheets and feather bed seem alright
You could take me now,
and I’d be ok with that
Cause damn it feels good,
to know what I’m looking at.

Like the stars coming in, up in the sky
Brought back again, for you and I
Taken away, and given anew
It’s a good life we’re living, and I’m enjoying the view

In younger days, I dreamed of the ways,
I’d live on the outskirts of town
And somewhere nearby, where the birds would still fly,
you’d have your house and a crown
A home with a view, maybe grow some food,
I’d be close enough, to be close to you
To be close to you

Like the stars coming in, up in the sky
Brought back again, for you and I
Taken away, and given anew
It’s a good life we’re living, and I’m enjoying,
I’m enjoying the view
