When you wake up sick do you feel the night
Are you looking for the door
Are you looking for a fight
Do you sleep through the day
Do you answer the phone
When I knock the landlord tells me no one's home
Like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
Like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
Are you putting out
Are you cutting back
Are you following my footsteps down the path
Are you building up
Are you wearing thin
Are you choking on the smoke you're taking in
Like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
Like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
Who wouldn't want you
Who hasn't tried
Who wouldn't love you
God knows how I've tried
But like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
Like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
When you wake up sick in Illinois
Are burning up the bridge
Are you drinking with the boys
Are you up all night
Do you answer the phone
If you're lost why don't you let me take you home
Like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
Like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
Like a bird in the sky I lose you in the sun
And like a tear caught in my eye you always run
