Birds Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come today
[Chorus]
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over
[Verse 2]
Nestled in your wings, my little one
Is special, morning brings another sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come today
[Chorus]
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over, oh
Lover, there will be another one
Who'll hover over you beneath the sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come today
[Chorus]
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over
[Verse 2]
Nestled in your wings, my little one
Is special, morning brings another sun
Tomorrow, see the things that never come today
[Chorus]
When you see me fly away without you
Shadow on the things you know
Feathers fall around you
And show you the way to go
It's over, it's over, oh

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
I believe the song is about the nature of when relationships “come and go”. moreso specifically dealing with the leaving of one’s partner, compared to the migration of birds, and maturing of age as time goes on
