lyrics

Love is for the birds
For the chosen few
For people who are willing
to go a round or two

Love is for the birds
For the young at heart
At least that’s what I’ll tell myself
When we have grown apart
That love is for the foolish
Not the smart

Love is for the brave
I say this as I leave
I pull my coat on
Just to hide the heart
worn on my sleeve

Love is for the loons
Those free and crazy few
Don’t even try to hide their happiness
From me and you
It makes us bitter, jealous
Crazy too

Poets say
Poets say
That it’s best to fall

But only fools
Only fools
Are gonna risk it all

Love is for the birds
Don’t recommend you fall
‘Cause falling more than often
Leaves you broken and so small
So don’t you waste your time
With love at all

Smooth and virtuosic, uplifting jazz that soars and glitters when it's not grooving along in some heavy dub. Tom Colquhoun
