No Birds Today          
             
No birds today 
Just this square patch of gray 
Molting sky moving in on its morning prey 

No words today 
No one knocking at the gate 
I lost my name long before I lost my way 

I wonder what he thinks out there 
Pastures turn from black to green and black again 
The sun it carves a well worn path 
from here to there and the next day back 

No birds today 
Just this dull sky of gray 
Winter's quickly moving in on its skulking prey 

No dust today 
No clouds rising from my driveway 
No hope drifting slowly my way 

I wonder what he thinks in there 
Pastures turn from black to green and black again 
The sun it carves a well worn path 
from here to there and the next day back 

Cold bars of steel 
I'm beginning to dig the feel 
of all that disappears into....ethereal 

Cold words of hate 
Now I'm seeing how things break 
Much too late now to cure my mistakes 

I wonder what he thinks in there 
Pastures turn from black to green and black again 
The sun it carves a well worn path 
from here to there and the next day back 

No birds today 
Just this barren stretch of gray 
Just this barren stretch of gray
