Evening Over Rooftops

[00:47.61] The air was thick like honey
[00:50.96] Looking from a room
[00:54.58] The room had open windows
[00:58.26] To let this springtime through
[01:02.09] Evening stood by watchin'
[01:05.47] At the side of summer's promise
[01:09.26] The flowers in her garden
[01:12.78] Were the envy of her friends
[01:17.25] How far are we from dying
[01:20.32] Is it nearly at an end?
[01:24.12] How far are we from dying
[01:27.58] Is it nearly at an end?
[01:31.57] The smoke hung on the skyline
[01:35.14] The city fell in silence
[01:38.96] The sunset, ripe and mellow
[01:41.95] Was the light to write some thoughts by
[01:46.14] Her children watched for father
[01:49.30] From a window in the wall
[01:53.76] Said a prayer for grandpapa
[01:57.11] And maybe many more
[02:01.07] Somewhere in the distance
[02:04.23] On the road so far away
[02:08.08] I heard the sound of life
[02:11.21] Though the people left for home
[02:45.04] Three birds flew off a building
[02:48.12] Standing proud against the sky
[02:52.71] Many more flew with them
[02:55.46] Spiralled up like laughter
[02:59.56] Faster, harder
[03:03.15] They rose up in a column
[03:06.71] Hundreds upon hundreds
[03:10.57] And twice that many wingspeed
[03:14.12] Four miles across
[03:16.79] Stretched a million miles high
[03:21.33] The living pulsing column
[03:24.52] In the lady of the sky
[03:28.77] Feathers thrashed together
[03:32.69] Locked in that huge swarm
[03:36.00] I knew no-one could see it
[03:39.31] And now that it was gone
[03:43.02] I rubbed my eyes and tried to find
[03:46.82] A reason for the flight
[03:50.70] Exodus, escape
[03:53.19] Or was it just for me to see?
[03:57.36] Like the mating of the earth and air
[04:01.26] Like water is to flowers
[04:04.84] The envy of her friends
[04:07.61] How far are we from dying, is it nearly at an end?
[04:12.77] How far are we from dying
[04:15.71] Is it nearly at an end?
[04:19.42] How far are we from dying
[04:23.04] Is it nearly at an end?...
