Listen and hear each word stop
G7
Or you'll miss the birds
C G7 A7
They sing in the top of the trees
D7 G7 F
Sometimes when you look you can't see
C G7 A7
But up there you will know that it's round
F G7 C
You're living too close to the ground
G7 C
Come where the lights are brand new
G7
Leave now without a plan
C G7 A7
You can get away if you choose
D7 G7 F
Confess it you've nothing to lose
C G7 A7
And I can show you where it's found
F G7 C
You're living too close to the ground
G7
Rush so you'll pass it by
C G7
Don't let it catch your eye
C G7 A7
Don't stop you might look a fool
D7 G7 F
Standing with love in your eyes
C G7 A7
Trying hard to believe what you've found
F G7 C
You're living too close to the ground
G7
I once held her close to me
C G7
Listened and heard her breathe
C G7 A7
Just like I have done all my life
D7 G7 F
Her heart was the image of mine
C G7 A7
Ah but my wings just couldn't be found
F G7 C
I was living too close to the ground
