Small Swift Birds
The Cowboy Junkies

I've been told that it's just the way life goes.nOnce the wildest river is now a trickle to the sea.nThe peak we risk our lives to scale becomes dirt beneath our feet.nThe wisdom of a life time always disappears untapped.nParadise once given will always be taken back.nAnd the love you hang your life upon will start to slowly crack.nnI have seen people suffocate the dream.nForgetting to turn that one last time while she watches through the door.nFocusing on the garbage that she use to ignore.nThinking she looks so beautiful but not yelling it out loud.nHe should have thought to kiss her before he headed out.nJust forgetting how fucking lucky you are to have found her in such a crowd.nnBut we've seen a cloud of starlings rising on a crisp autumn day.nWe were handed the weight of a child sleeping and bore her away.nWe've tasted the tears that fall when saying goodbye forever.nAnd we've seen the silver from a waxing moon wash upon the shore.nnI have heard about the lives of small swift birds.nThey dazzle with their colour and their deftness through the air.nJust a simple glimpse will keep you simply standing there.nLegendary journeys made on fragile hollow wings.nThe night skies rich with whistling each and every spring.nAnd then there's the day we look for them and can't find them anywhere.nnI've been told that it's just the way life goes.
