Are you still on the stoop watching the windows close?


A5                          E5
I've not seen you lately
          A5                                      E5
On the street by the beach or places we used to go

There's a bird stealing bread that I bought out from under my nose


Verse 2:
Tell me, baby, tell me
Does his company make light of a rainy day?
How I've missed you lately
And the way we would speak and all that we wouldn't say

Chorus 2:
Do his hands in your hair feel a lot like a thing you believe in
Or a bit like a bird stealing bread out from under your nose?

Tell me, baby, tell me
Do you carry the words around like a key or change?

Of a night on the stoop and all that we wouldn't say

Will you fly like a bird stealing bread out from under my nose?
