Anouk —
Birds

Lyrics by Anouk Teeuwe and Music by Tore Johansson, Martin Gjerstad
Голландия / Евровидение 2013

Isolated from the outside
Clouds have taken all the light.
I have no control,
It seems my thoughts wonder
All of the time,
When I try to
Live life without you.

Chorus:
     Birds falling down the rooftops
     Out of the sky like raindrops.
     No air,
     No pride.

If being myself is what I do wrong
Than I would rather not be right.
Hopes turned into fear,
And with my one wing
I can’t fly with sunrise,
Embrace my dreams tight
And that’s why.

Chorus:
     Birds falling down the rooftops
     Out of the sky like raindrops.
     No air,
     No pride,
     Birds.

   To a place without fear,
   With no moonlight.
   (To a place without moonlight
   And fear.)
   All I need are trees and flowers
   And some sunlight.
   (All I need is trees, some flowers
   And sunlight.)
   Where memories are being made
   And where the old one dies,
   Where love ain’t lost.

Chorus:
     Birds falling down the rooftops
     Out of the sky like raindrops.
     Birds falling down the rooftops
     Out of the sky like raindrops.
     No air,
     No pride,
     That’s why birds don’t fly.
