Time pulls us further every day
Distance grows where we used to play
The warmth we had is now so thin
It hardly knows where to begin
Maybe we're just two birds on a wire
Facing the sun and slowly growing tired
We sing the songs we used to know
But every line is old and slow
The garden wall is cracked and torn
The weeds have grown where beauty was born
We built a world inside a flame
Now all we have is just the name
The garden wall is cracked and torn
The weeds have grown where beauty was born
We talk but nothing meets the eye
The distance writes its own reply
Maybe we're just two birds on a wire
Facing the sun and slowly growing tired
We sing the songs we used to know
But every line is old and slow
The garden wall is cracked and torn
The weeds have grown where beauty was born
We built a world inside a flame
Now all we have is just the name
The garden wall is cracked and torn
The weeds have grown where beauty was born
We talk but nothing meets the eye
The distance writes its own reply
