It breaks the sky to the East
Hear the birds above
Announcing the light like rays of love

Hear the one who sings
As darkness clouds the western sky
The one who sounds as though
He's weeping for his long lost lover

He's alone and sad
He betrays the bluest sounds coming down
Over the rooftops, into your dreams
That's just how that bird sings

All the way until
The heat of the night time still at that hour
All of the dreams devour the senses
Mothers keep your child

Far from home, they will roam
Run to trouble first
It is what they thirst for
To quench their sorrow

He's alone and sad
He betrays the bluest sounds coming down
Over the rooftops, into your dreams
He will sing despite the approaching night
As though you know just what he means
I suppose, that's just how that bird sings

It breaks the sky to the East
Hear the birds above
