Black birds are sitting on a dead tree outside
A girl who forgot there were flowers around
My dreams and my hopes prey they fell to a time
(When) black birds are sitting on a dead tree outside

Hold on and hold on, it can't be so long
Hold on my heart, the ride is fast

Black birds are sitting on a dead tree outside
A girl who forgot there were flowers around
My dreams and my hopes prey they fell to a time
(When) black birds are sitting on a dead tree outside

Hold on and hold on, it can't be so long
Hold on my heart, the ride is fast
