Birds Lyrics by The Meters

Cabbage Alley

1972

[Verse 1]
Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you, beneath the sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come
Today, yeah
[Chorus]
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow all the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
[Verse 2]
Nestle in my arms, my little one
A special morning brings another sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come
Today, yeah
[Chorus]
When you see my fly away without you
Shadow all the things you know
Feathers fall around you
Oh and show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow all the things you know, yeah
Feathers fall around you
Oh and show you the way to go
It's over
It's over
[Outro]
Can't you see it's all over?
