Clay Lyrics by Shelley O’Brien

You, Me and The Birds

2009

[Verse 1]
You and I
We pull the velvet of the sky
Close around our shoulders in the dark
Leaving Stanley Park
Stay close to the water
“Vicar should have a canvas here,” I say
[Verse 2]
You and me
Wrapped in stars and sea
Amble and ramble on
Then you’re gone
You’re gone and all my loose ends fray
[Chorus]
Doesn’t it take two to move our mountains?
Where are you when they stand in the way?
Down in the roses, playing in the fountains
And I’m up here pushing on a big mound of clay
[Verse 3]
From whеre I’ve been
I watch the sun creep in
Drop my cloak and smilе to the day
You’re far away
Sit down on my new furniture
Gotta rearrange it so everything’s okay
Everything’s okay
[Chorus]
And doesn’t it take two to move our mountains?
Where are you when they stand in the way?
Down in the roses, playing in the fountains
And I’m up here pushing on a big mound of clay
Doesn’t it take two to move our mountains?
Where are you when they stand in the way?
Down in the roses, playing in the fountains
And I’m up here pushing on a big mound of clay
[Outro]
I’m up here pushing on a big mound of clay
