lyrics

Wrote a letter to my mother that I'll never send
Wrote another to myself and tore it up again
I sat there upon a rock that wasn't very tall
And the thought of fallin' off was harder than the fall

See the sky and how they fly
Not wanting us up there
Do you think that they know why
We hold them up so dear?

If you really wanted you could crush me with a word
Then there would be only me with memories and birds
Memories and birds

When you smiled and glanced away you weren't being coy
You didn't want to dance today with me or any boy
I thought of you there in church
It wasn't in that way
I think of you all the time
Almost everyday

See the sky and how they fly
They're taunting us down here
Birds are no reason to cry and I've got my gun right here

Words come easy to a fool
After all they're just words
And only descriptive tools for memories and birds
Memories and birds
Ah memories
Memories and Birds
