The Birds Will Still Be Singing Lyrics

Summertime withers as the sun descends He wants to kiss you, will you condescend? Before you wake and find a chill within your bones Under a fine canopy of lovers dust and humorous bones
Banish all dismay, extinguish every sorrow
Eternity stinks, my darling, that's no joke Don't waste your precious time pretending you're heartbroken There will be tears and candles, pretty words to say Spare me the lily-white lily with the awful perfume of decay
Banish all dismay, extinguish every sorrow If I'm lost or I'm forgiven, the birds will still be singing
It's so hard to tear myself away even when you know it's over It's too much to say
Banish all dismay, extinguish every sorrow If I'm lost or I'm forgiven, the birds will still be singing
