about

I wrote this for Bobbie sitting in a cafe in Paris with a great friend Isaac Cheong sharing a coffee and a story

lyrics

dizzy angles spinning on
everywhere I turn
they never really understand
where it is that they belong
till spring comes again
time for them to move on

CHORUS
Harlem black birds sing
the sea to your door
when the tide it rises
I wont be here anymore
I'll let my heart where the crown
and humbly bow

as I wonder your shore
I know this is where I belong
weaved into the fabric of the stars
now I sing your song

CHORUS
Harlem black birds sing
the sea to your door
when the tide it rises
I wont be here anymore
I'll let my heart where the crown
and humbly bow
Harlem black birds sing

BRIDGE
sitting in a station watching all the world unfold
through the window canvas that welcomes me home
I hope this dream finds you well
now the flowers bloom and it's time for me to go

Harlem black birds sing
Harlem black birds sing
Harlem black birds sing.....
