At the home of a friend
Is reason to wonder and stare
Green wings and red face
And a sapphire belly
A racket so loud
As to out shout the tele
But this morning my prayer
By the side of the sea
Took odds to turn back
To the moon in the trees
Where a green cloud of birds
In a flock of a thou'
Yelled from one to another
It's morning out loud
It's morning, it's morning
It's morning they cried
From the edge of the treetops
To the edge of the skies
It's morning, it's morning
It's morning they cried
So open your heart
When you open your eyes
And the sound of their voices
Together did blend
Forming chords of awakening
If I'm not here again
For they shouted
Never again would they fly
In such numbers across
Such a primitive sky
And they noticed my heart
As it sank to the sand
Do not hurry they called
It's all part of a plan
Chorus
One parrot in a cage At the home of a friend Is reason to wonder and stare Green wings and red face And a sapphire belly A racket so loud As to out shout the tele But this morning my prayer By the side of the sea Took odds to turn back To the moon in the trees Where a green cloud of birds In a flock of a thou' Yelled from one to another It's morning out loud It's morning, it's morning It's morning they cried From the edge of the treetops To the edge of the skies It's morning, it's morning It's morning they cried So open your heart When you open your eyes And the sound of their voices Together did blend Forming chords of awakening If I'm not here again For they shouted Never again would they fly In such numbers across Such a primitive sky And they noticed my heart As it sank to the sand Do not hurry they called It's all part of a plan Chorus Explain Request ×
