Four o'clock beauty
    and no bird sings

Nine in the morning
    and no bird sings

Rivers of concrete
    and no bird sings

Life in its beauty
    and no bird sings

Season of longing 
    and no bird sings

Sweat on the sidewalk
    and no bird sings

Where are the children
    and no bird sings

Nights of becoming
    and no bird sings

Growth like a cancer
    and no bird sings

Quiet at evening
    and no bird sings

Endless denial
    and no bird sings

Hold me my lover
    and no bird sings

Turn to me savior
    and no bird sings

Empty pavilions
    and no bird sings

Blood on the mattress
    and no bird sings

Sunset of plastic
    and no bird sings

Drowning forever
    and no bird sings

Dust on the eyelid
    and no bird sings

Trees in their silence
    and no birds sing
