Paradise, Once 歌詞

These birds don't sing in the rain They're waiting for the sun to shine But I'm a man and a man-made thing And I can sing out anytime I can sing in the trees I'll sing before the rivers rise Maybe make you believe That we were part of paradise And could be part of paradise 'Cause we were part of paradise, once I don't have any wings But there are nights when I can fly And I'll give you all my rings Like I'm the oldest tree alive But I can't stand like a tree And you can cut me down to size Even make me believe That we were part of paradise And could be part of paradise 'Cause we were part of paradise, once Nothing ever gets lost Just the pieces move around I can't figure out the cost I know that it will even out Without feather or branch Love brings you closer to the skies It can give you back the chance To be where it was paradise To see a part of paradise To be a part of paradise, once
