The birds they circle in the sky 
Oh the birds they circle in the sky 
the birds the circle in the sky 
for all the blood red tears I cried 
Oh, the birds they circle in the sky 

see the man as [bad word] towards the sun 
see the man as [bad word] towards the sun 
the man as [bad word] towards the sun 
straight into the arms of another one 
see the man as [bad word] towards the sun 

But I hold a secret in my bones 

Oh but I hold a secret in my bones 
what's that secret in my bones? 
I carried it down to the dirt below 
for I know the secret in my bones 

The birds they circle in the sky 
Oh the birds they circle in the sky 
the birds the circle in the sky 
for all the blood red tears I cried 
Oh, the birds they circle in the sky
