ParcelHear, hear, I’m heaven-sent!
Open up your heart, and see
Not the message that was meant

Put away the wrapping paper
Sit me down on the floor
I’m a drinker, you’re a vaper

InterloperA fierce eagle in mid-flight

I'm never blue
Imagine if we said, I do?
On cloud nine would I
Float happily by

While all the time my bluebird sings
And when...

Watching the baby bird leaning on the mother's breast

Past the midnight chimes
A soul searching...
