Rainbirds

The plane touchs down

The lounge fills up again

Retired couples from the mid-western USA

They blink in the foreign light

And admire each others shoes

I've seen a lot new shoes today



Should have let me know

That you weren't getting on your flight

You should have called me

So I wouldn't be calling you now



On this line you sound so strange

And I'm running out of change

Understanding but it feels like falling



Ngaire I'm not lying to you

Ngaire I've been trying to do

Right from the start

If you doubt what's in my heart

You can break it open

But be careful when you do

Inside there's a girl who looks like you



You knew I had to come here

You knew there was no work at home

You said you'd join me when the coast was clear



Now I take the escalator down

I get the bus back into town

I'm as free as the planes up in the air



Is that the sun? (Is that the sun?)

That drys me on you now (drys me you now)

And did it shine? (And did it shine?)

The day you changed you mind

Oh Ngaire, oh Ngaire



Oh Ngaire I'm not lying to you

Ngaire I've been trying to do

Right from the start

If you doubt what's in my heart

You can break it open

But be careful when you do

Inside there's a girl who looks like you



Ngaire, Ngaire

Inside there's a girl who looks like

(repeat)



Inside there's a girl who looks like you

Inside there's a girl who looks like you

Looks like you, looks like you
