What are those things with big black wings?
Circling descending from up overhead
Lie to me tell me that they're only robins
Tell me that your love for me will never be dead
Today all the rooms in our home feel like strangers
I wonder what makes me feel so out of place
Why have you suddenly emptied your closets?
And why won't you look me in the face?
What are those things with big black wings?
Circling descending from up overhead
Lie to me tell me that they're only robins
Tell me that your love for me will never be dead
You faithfully promised that you'd never leave me
You told me your heart had no room for goodbyes
But tell me what makes all this distance between us
And who put that leavin' in your eyes?
What are those things with big black wings?
Circling descending from up overhead
Lie to me tell me that they're only robins
Tell me that your love for me will never be dead
