When No Birds Sang lyrics

The sun's new place
In a sky of empty space
When no birds sang

Tell me
Was Hillary awake?
Did she hear me leave?
Or the sound of breaking eggs?

Tell me
Will you still enjoy the view
Through the smoke into the blue?

Tell me
Father, can you help explain?
Tell me how the sound escapes
Through 20,000 window panes

The same old place
In a sky of empty space
When no birds sang

Tell me
Can you help explain?
Tell me how the sound escapes
Through 20,000 window panes
