[Intro] Birds on the clothesline Sun in the gold light Still got the night Still got the night [Verse 1] Birds on the clothesline Morning in the gold light Last night still hanging there In the shirts and summer air Coffee on the back step No hard feelings, no regret World comes back in little waves Soft through the glass, through the day [Pre-Chorus] Nothing to explain We can leave it in the day Nothing left to chase Just the breeze, just the shape [Chorus] Birds on the clothesline That’s how memory hits sometimes Held up in the sunlight Quiet, warm, but still alive Birds on the clothesline You and me in the aftershine Don’t need words, don’t need signs I’ll know it when the wind feels right [Post-Chorus] On the line In the light Still alive Still alive [Verse 2] Birds cut through the blue sky Slow steam in the daylight Every little thing stays here In the cotton, in the air You don’t have to say much I can feel the whole touch Night is gone but not erased Still on everything we made [Bridge] Let it hang there Let it move slow Let the sun hit What we don’t show Let it stay there No goodbye Just the morning Passing by [Final Chorus] Birds on the clothesline That’s how memory hits sometimes Held up in the sunlight Quiet, warm, but still alive Birds on the clothesline You and me in the aftershine Don’t need words, don’t need signs I’ll know it when the wind feels right [Outro] Birds on the clothesline Still in the gold light Still got the night Still got the night
