Ian Anderson - The Secret Language Of Birds lyrics

<b>The Secret Language Of Birds</b> by <i>Ian Anderson</i><br />This sparkling wine is all but empty

Too late for trains and no taxis

I know the feeling, seems all too contrived

There was no master plan but the fact is

You must stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

A tentative dawn about to be breaking

On a Rousseau garden with monkeys in hiding

And the truth of the matter, yet to be spoken

In words on which everything, everything's riding

Now stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

Now stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

Circled by swallows in a world for the weary

Courted by warblers, wicked and eloquent trilling

Lie in the stillness, window cracked open

Extended moments, hours for the taking

Careless hair on the pillow, a bold brush stroke

Painted verse with a chorus, the chorus in waiting

Stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

Yeah, stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

Stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

Now, stay with me and learn the secret language of birds

Yeah, stay with me and learn the secret language of birds
