Paper Dog - Birds Lyrics

So many times I could have told you
That I never knew for sure
So many ways I could have showed you
How I really feel inside
In embrace of winters cold
Where I left you alone
So many souls I came across
I can't perceive you anymore

Ways of our past have been lost
A stranger's eyes are peering my memory
And I can't mend what is gone
Like a bluebird you have flown

In the end when all is said and done, memories of us remain
In the valley where I look upon, all the love that we once claimed
In the end when all said and done, know what lingers if you stay
That your enemy is gone, when you walk away

Looking for answers far and wide
As the hours turned to days
So many ways I could be wrong
I should have thought of it before
At the end of the trail
Our fears did prevail
So many times
I really wondered if we ever knew at all

Ways of our past have been lost
A stranger's eyes are peering my memory
And I can't mend what is gone
Like a bluebird you have flown

In the end when all is said and done, memories of us remain
In the valley where I look upon, all the love that we once claimed
In the end when all said and done, know what lingers if you stay
That your enemy is gone, when you look away

In the end when all said and done, know what lingers if you stay
That your enemy is gone, when you walk away
