[Lyric] Narrow Panorama (Newton Courte)

You said that we'd see the songbirds return
In the spring with the red sky that bleeds all day long
In the meantime, pretty ring time
The streets blow, and the trees shine
Gathering crows who behind their long leaves hide
All your minor league prophets
Offer little more than metaphor
Promises shaped like the days of Elijah

And if life is so brief
Then what am I doing

Was throwing back prescription dreams
In the arms of these machines
Where I can't tеll if anything's as good as it seems

And the doorway's a whisper
That you've got to lеan in
To hear through the din of the way things are changing
And if i know my Anna
She’s feeling everything
And once it’s begun
Oh, It goes on and on
Cause she swears I’m only
The love of a past life
And thus i waste this one trying to prove her wrong
Cause if life is so brief
Then what am i doing
So fully-clothed and counting sheep so far out of love
I know i’ll be starving till i’ve had enough
