Bird Stealing Bread

Tell me, baby, tell me Are you still on the stoop Watching the windows close? I've not seen you lately On the street by the beach Or places we used to go I've a picture of you On our favorite day By the seaside There's a bird stealing bread That I brought Out from under my nose Tell me, baby, tell me Does his company make Light of a rainy day? How I've missed you lately And the way we would speak And all that we wouldn't say Do his hands in your hair Feel a lot like a thing You believe in Or a bit like a bird Stealing bread out from under your nose? Tell me, baby, tell me Do you carry the words Around like a key or change? I've been thinking lately Of a night on the stoop And all that we wouldn't say If I see you again On the street by the beach In the evening Will you fly like a bird Stealing bread out from under my nose? --- Bird Stealing Bread - Iron and Wine
