On the night train
 From the city to the south
 I saw spirits
 Crawl across the river mouth
 In skewed ascension
 With no destination
 Like this lone bachelor in me
 This constant yearning
 For great love and learning
 For the wind to carry me free

 So when the birds fly south
 I'll Reach up and hold their tails
 Pull up and out of here
 And bridle the autumn gales
 Down to the burning cliffs
 To the unrelenting roll
 To marry the untold blisses
 And anchor this lost soul

 From my window
 I saw two birds lost at sea
 I caught our reflection
 In that silent tragedy
 But with hope prevailing
 I draw galleons sailing
 In full sail billowing free

 So when the birds fly south
 Reach up and hold their tails
 Fly up and out of here
 Bridle the autumn gales
 Down to the burning cliffs
 To the everlasting role
 To marry the untold princess
 And anchor this lost soul

 From my window
 I saw two birds lost at sea
 I caught our reflection
 In that silent tragedy
 But with hope prevailing
 I draw galleons sailing
 In full sail billowing free

 So when the birds fly south
 Reach up and hold their tails
 Pull up and out of here
 Bridle the autumn gales
 I give you my hand
 The fingers unfold
 To have and forever hold
 To marry the untold blisses
 And anchor this lost soul
