[00:00.00]Birds of Paradise (Live in Santa Monica, Sept. 1981) - Pretenders
[00:19.23]I wrote a letter to you my friend
[00:27.37]So many letters that I never send
[00:36.21]I think about you at the day's end
[00:41.53]The time that we had
[00:48.70]I laughed in my bed
[00:52.85]The stupid things you said
[00:55.88]We were two birds of paradise
[01:10.01]When I was a little girl
[01:12.89]With clay horses and lambs on the shelf
[01:18.50]I caught frogs in ditches and listened for elves
[01:27.21]My friends and I had a world unto ourselves
[01:35.65]No grownups could find us when we
[01:40.35]Made our plans so secretly
[01:44.30]To run away and fly to be
[01:48.08]With the two birds of paradise
[02:01.65]Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders
[02:10.14]Back in the room the things I remember
[02:18.45]One time when we took off our clothes
[02:23.76]But you were cryin cryin
[02:27.66]You said nothing lasts forever
[02:31.82]We were happy together
[02:36.61]I thought about you in Stockholm and Rome
[02:45.29]Me in my hotel room you in your home
[02:54.26]This is the life they say that dreams are made of
[03:02.76]Don't forget please do forgive me
[03:06.75]I still have something you did give me
[03:11.01]Come into my dreams along with me and dream
[03:35.45]Please don't forget do forgive me
[03:41.12]I still have something you did give me
[03:45.21]Come into my dreams along with me and dream
[03:53.17]Oh dream of paradise
