Liner Notes

This is the fourth set of lyrics, but the second with full melody, structured and recorded.

This is a song about surviving a chaotic situation and finding calm afterwards. It continues my 'reports of animals' song with birds or rather just birdsong.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was a tree in a storm,
I could not hide, could not bend.
I was the start of it all,
And I got to be at the end

[Pre-chorus]
Was I right or wrong, Others will decide,
I know I'm better off, On the outside.

[Chorus]
When the traffic subsides,
And calmness arrives,
Then there is birdsong
Then there is birdsong

[Verse 2]
When the shouting abates,
All the anger and hate,
And the person I was,
Is fractured and lost,

[Pre-chorus]
The succession to power the material yearn,
Is quickly succeeded by the need to learn,

[Chorus]
When the traffic subsides,
And calmness arrives,
Then there is birdsong
Then there is birdsong

[Bridge]
And I, have not found enlightenment.
And I, am not perfect, not whole,
But I, am lighter and calmer,
Less nightmare with more self-control,

[Chorus]
When the traffic subsides,
And calmness arrives,
Then there is birdsong
Then there is birdsong

When the chaos it scatters,
And it does not matter,
Then there is birdsong
Then there is birdsong

[outtro]
Then Birdsong.
Then Birdsong.
