how can i turn away from your gun how can i stay here where others would run and cast the blame i fan a dying flame all of my secrets breathe life to my lies all of my thoughts like the ocean they slide along the edge they linger on the banks in search of a refuge darling don t cry don t you know why this bird never flies there s night at the end of this heavenless day there s night at the end that will show me a way i tell myself we may still be saved darling don t cry don t you know why this bird never flies darling don t cry don t you know why this bird never flies i won t give you up
