Bird Stealing Bread lyrics

tell me, baby, tell me
are you still on the stoop
watching the windows close?
i`ve not seen you lately
on the street by the beach
or places we used to go

i`ve a picture of you
on our favorite day
by the seaside
there`s a bird stealing bread
that i brought
out from under my nose

tell me, baby, tell me
does his company make
light of a rainy day?
how i`ve missed you lately
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
do you carry the words
around like a key or change?
i`ve been thinking lately
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?
