The birds
        Em    D    C  D   F    C
Are the kee - pers of our se - cret
        Dm  C  Bb    C  D
As they saw us where we lay
       Em    D    C     D  F        C
In the dee - pest grass of spring - time
     Dm     C    Bb     C  D
In a reck - less guil - ty haze
         Em   D C     D    F       C
And they wove a sweet in - diff - erence
       Dm    C    Bb C   D
And it set - tled on our skin
         Em   D    C D    F     C
Till the eyes that I re - mem - bered
        Dm   C    Bb   C  D
For the last time drew me in

The birds
         Em   D    C     D    F    C
Though I wore your gla - cial pa - tience
     Dm     C  Bb   C    D
To a smudge of bi - tter dust
       Em   D   C   D    F      C
On the last day you em - braced me
       Dm       C    Bb    C    D
With a gliste - ning sap - ling trust
         Em   D C      D   F     C
Did they sing a mill - ion ble - ssings
        Dm      C  Bb     C  D
As they watched us slow - ly part
        Em   D     C    D   F    C
Do they keep those fi - nal ki - sses
         Dm   C  Bb   C    D
In their ti - ny ra - cing hearts
