Language Of Birds

D5
They say there's an underground 
river,

That none of us can see,

And it flows through winding 
tunnels,
F                G           D5
On its way to a tide-less sea.

D5
And across that sea is an island,

A paradise we are told,

Where the toils of life are 
forgotten,
F                G           D5
And they call it the Island of 
Souls.

Bb          C        D
For only a soul can go there,
Bb                  C    D
A soul that's been set free,
Bb                      C       D
From the confines of a working life,
F       G      D
To find eternity.

D5
Your old man had a cage for his 
pigeons,

But that's really where he kept his 
soul,

And when he watched them fly he 
would see himself,

Least that's how it was told.

         Bb        C              
But his soul was still trapped in 
     D
the cage son,
           Bb           C         
While the birds they soared to the
  Am
 sky,
            F          G        D
But he couldn't find his own way 
out,
        F          G        D
Least not 'til the day he died.

D5
Oh, a man builds a cage with the 
tools he is given,

His casket is sealed with a 
riveter's gun,

This solitary madness is where he is
 driven,
        F            G            
It was him who was trapped in the 
  D        Am
soul cage son.

        F             G           
It was him that was trapped in the
  D5
 soul cage.

D5
I know that he loved you, but he 
hadn't the words,

He'd be easier speaking the language
 of birds,

For to speak of emotion, it just 
wasn't done,
        F            G            
It was him who was trapped in the 
  D        Am
soul cage son.

        F             G           
It was him that was trapped in the
  D5
 soul cage.

Oh, a man builds a cage with the

His casket is sealed with a

This solitary madness is where he is
 driven,
        F            G            
It was him who was trapped in the 
  D        Am
soul cage son.

        F             G           
It was him that was trapped in the
  D5
 soul cage.
