Standard (EADGBE)
dear winter bird how long can you last
before it gets too cold and the earth asks you back
dear bended bough you're ready for the sun
the old man is leaving a longer day's begun
suddenly i can see blue skies again
hear you say there's nothing lessthat our hearts will mend
i promise you they do
birch trees are bones stripped of their leaves and pressed between the pages of my memory
this heart of mine is ready for the spring open up my window winter bird take wing
(Chorus)
it's not easy to pretend (3X)
i can see blue skies again
Chorus)
