The Birds Will Still Be Singing Lyrics by Elvis Costello

The Birds Will Still Be Singing Lyrics

    Summertime withers as the sun descends
    He wants to kiss you. will you condescend?
    Before you wake and find a chill within your bones
    Under a fine canopy of lover's dust and humourous bones
    Banish all dismay
    Extinguish every sorrow
    Eternity stinks, my darling. that's no joke
    Don't waste your precious time pretending you're
    Heartbroken
    There will be tears and candles
    Pretty words to say
    Spare me lily-white lillies
    With the awful perfume of decay
    Banish all dismay
    Extinguish every sorrow
    If i'm lost or i'm forgiven
    The birds will still be singing

    It's so hard to tear myself away
    Even when you know it's over
    It's too much to say.
    Banish all dismay
    Extinguish every sorrow
    If i'm lost or i'm forgiven
    The birds will still be singing
