Intro
tell me, baby, tell me-ee are you still on the stoop
watching the wind-ows close?
i've not seen you lately yy on the street by the beach
or places we used to-oo go
i've a picture of you on our f-ay-vorite day by the sea side
there's a bird stealing bread that i brought out from under my nose
tell me, baby, tell me-ee does his company make
light of a rainy-yy day?
how i've missed you lately-yy and the way we would speak
and all that we wouldn't say
Do his hands in your hair feel a lot like a thing you believe in
or a bit like a bird stealing bread out from under your nose?
tell me, baby, tell me-eeee do you carry the words
around like a key or change?
i've been thinking lately-yyy of a night on the stoop and all that
we wouldn't say
if i see you again on the street by the beach in the evening
will you fly like a bird stealing bread out from under my nose?
