there's a bird on the land
there's a bird on the bay
there's a sun in the sky
but it won't go away 

and the clock on the wall says
remeber all that you've said
don't think of the dangers
you could have avoided if only he'd stayed 

oh this water is making my death 
every season stealing my man from my bed
and this winter should carry him through
to the next
all I can offer is yours to take
