April from 50 by Footings

April don't come and she never will
she's taking her time and she's taking pills
it's the loneliness that she just can't bear
because falling in love is exactly like falling down stairs
you'll know when you're there.

A cardinal alights on a maple tree
and I cannot help thinking it came for me
it's crazy thinking that everyone
has their own redbird, I cannot be the only one
standing in the sun.

Ultimately that's the better way
cause all of the things that you think and say
build towers that reach up into the sky
part sunlight part starlight part galaxy, all by and by;
all by and by.
