FLUTTER

You don't see me here, living in the smoke
No wait, don't come near, I'm reminiscing, yesteryear
I know you folk, you'll take me to the town I ran from
Pack my bags and let my feet take me to the place where all the rest relate
Don't be late, keep going straight, eyes on license plates
Marks on every car tell me I'm going the wrong way
We'll work it out, sneak into the station, on the freight train
Light-up signs scrolling by, I'm on my way to Keepsay

Tall, tall buildings, pеople crossing
Flutter my wings, this looks promising
Not a single nosе ring once we pass the tall gates
Humid like a hot spring, but rainy air is welcoming

Taking off my mask, taking in the scenery
Taking off in flight, oh, I'm flying with the bees, look at the
Bright blue sky and clouds so white, I've never felt so free
I'm seeing miles and miles ahead of me, soaring past tall almond trees
Feels so good to give my wings a stretch, tucked away so long
Feels so good to be out of that mess, breathing smog so long
Doing spins and fluttering, I'm boutta sing a birdsong
Prep for landing, gracefully planting my feet on limestone

Shaking out my wings before I enter the cafe
Warm and welcoming, I order an iced latte
Everything is perfect, sparkling clean
I wonder what kept me from doing this sooner?
Walking downtown as I sip on the caffeine
Glancing left and right at all the happy people 'round me
Oh, this is nice, I'd never give this away again
Waving at passersby with wings, little simple nod, "Hi"
