Watch Birds

Just leave me here in my porch swing It rocks like a cradle so gently I've been here most of the afternoon There's nothing on my to-do list I've got fresh flower in my fist There's only one thing I wanna do I just want my muscles to loosen their death grip I just want the voice in my head to be quiet Right now I've got nothing to do I don't have to use my words I just want to get high on my porch and watch birds I just want to get high on my porch and watch birds The sun melts the edges of winter The birds swoop in for their dinner Red cardinals and finches and eastern blues I've built a backyard oasis One of our favorite places They've got all they need and I do, too I just want my muscles to loosen their death grip I just want the voice in my head to be quiet Right now I've got nothing to do I don't have to use my words I just want to get high on my porch and watch birds I just want to get high on my porch and watch birds It's that feeling of landing back in yourself It's that moment a bird alights on your shelf And you better breathe it in, 'cause that will help I just want to get high I just want to get high on my porch and watch birds I just want to get high and watch birds Get high and watch birds
