Transfiguration

(альбом: Even If And Especially When - 1987)

If you see my birds flying
On your way past people crying
Give them all a wave and tell them
That I'm going to save some time for them

If you pass me in the square
Just pretend that I'm not there
Just reach over into pocket
Take the paper and written on it's what to do
It's up to you, transfiguration
Hey, babe

If you think I'm taking too long
Just imagine that I'm gone
Everybody wants to sleep
But sleep is something
They must keep from getting into
You know and I know

Playing cards, we count to ten
But only you would remember when
Close our eyes and see each other
One last time and you know my mother said it's true
That it's up to you, transfiguration

Ten thousand different things to be
It's impossible, that's all
If you decide which one you want
Then I'll help you if you fall

Transfiguration

If you see me try to swim
Backwards up the stream
Remember I'm the only one
You know who had that dream
If you jump into the water
And try to swim but then you sink
Try not to look behind yourself
Just have yourself a drink

Ah, transfiguration, hey babe
Hey, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
