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