Lyrics

[Verse 1] A parrot's caw Something you can't go looking for Before too long Usually one line in a birdsong Beyond the fog [Chorus] I couldn't help but wonder Were you there all along? Before too long You too will be long gone And once you're gone No one 'round to hear your song [Verse 2] A graspin' claw A flash of red to die for That's what I saw Walking home from Brooklyn I couldn't ask for more I wish I'd been recording I'd go back to it all (I'd go back to it all) [Chorus] Before too long You too will be long gone (You too will be long gone) And once you're gone (Once you're gone) There's no one 'round to hear your song ('Round to hear your song) As if you're on your own Just a voice without a tone (Just a voice without a tone) I couldn't help but wonder Were you there all along?
