Dead birds cover the ground everywhere I go
And for a moment I forgot what I was here for
Dead birds, I'll follow you with what's left of me
But how do we know what that will be

I ran longer than I realized
Down along the ways I recognized
I keep chasing after dead birds
I keep drowning in your river
I ran longer than I realized
Down along the ways I recognized
I keep chasing after dead birds
I keep drowning in your river

Dead birds cover the ground everywhere I go
And for a moment I forgot what I was here for
Dead birds, I'll follow you with what's left of me
But how do we know what that will be
