Birds Of Paradise Lyrics - Pretenders

I wrote a letter to you my friend 

So many letters that I never send 

I think about you at the day's end 

The time that we had 

I laughed in my bed 

The stupid things you said 

We were two birds of paradise 

When I was a little girl 

With clay horses and lambs on the shelf 

I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves 

My friends and I had a world unto ourselves 

No grownups could find us when we 

Made our plans so secretly 

To run away and fly to be 

With the two birds of paradise 

Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders 

Back in the room the things I remember 

One time when we took off our clothes 

But you were cryin', cryin' 

You said nothing lasts forever 

We were happy together 

I thought about you in Stockholm and Rome 

Me in my hotel room 

You in your home 

This is the life they say that 

Dreams are made of 

Don't forget 

Please do forgive me 

I still have something you did give me 

Come into my dream with me and dream 

Please don't forget 

Do forgive me 

I still have something you did give me 

Come into my dream with me and dream 

Oh dream of paradise
