lyrics

i was riding up the mountain
where i like to go
when i have some time

there in the gravel
staring in to the sky
where the crows and the pigeons
continue to fly

i stopped
the owl's beak
opened just a crack
and she started to speak

she said -
"it was not a power-line
and it was not a tall, tall truck
not a cat, not a fox
i just ran out of luck"

she said -
"look at you
you're cracking eyes
are gonna give you away
every single time

why can't you decide to stay
or run away
when there's nothing in either place
but the things you left behind?"

i did not go to the mountains today
i went home, took a shower
and tidied up the place
to show my gratitude for the love you gave
