PRETENDERS - Birds Of Paradise lyrics

rate me

I wrote a letter to you my friend<br>So many letters that I never send<br>I think about you at the day's end<br>The time that we had<br>I laughed in my bed<br>The stupid things you said<br>We were two birds of paradise<br><br>When I was a little girl<br>With clay horses and lambs on the shelf<br>I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves<br>My friends and I had a world unto ourselves<br>No grownups could find us when we<br>Made our plans so secretly<br>To run away and fly to be<br>With the two birds of paradise<br><br>Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders<br>Back in the room the things I remember<br>One time when we took off our clothes<br>But you were cryin', cryin'<br>You said nothing lasts forever<br>We were happy together<br>I thought about you in stockholm and rome<br>Me in my hotel room<br>You in your home<br>This is the life they say that<br>Dreams are made of<br>Don't forget<br>Please do forgive me<br>I still have something you did give me<br>Come into my dream with me and dream<br><br>Please don't forget<br>Do forgive me<br>I still have something you did give me<br>Come into my dream with me and dream<br>Oh dream of paradise
