The Sky Is Full of Birds

from Leaving the Land of Before by Sara Ayers

lyrics

I like birds and maps
and little brown bats
kites and soup and great big rocks
crowns and cake and cashmere socks
I like ferns and knots
vetiver and robots
winter snow and Saturn's rings
and all the shades of green in spring

and there was something but I let it go
and now it's nothing, no
the sky is really big today
the sky is really big today

I like books and hats
and science and naps
the smell of paint and the forest floor
sidewalk chalk and hardware stores
I like crows and ravens
and elegant equations
trains and pie and reptile eyes
velvet nights and fireflies

and there was something but I let it go
and now it's nothing, no
the sky is so blue today
the sky is so so blue today

I like stars and peas
times gone by and times to be
maple trees in autumn red
the honks of geese overhead

and there was something but I let it go
and now it's nothing, no
the sky is full of birds
so many birds
oh it's full of birds
