TALKING TO THE BIRDS (Melvin Goins)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)
Tom T. Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE WALLS
AND I'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE WIND
YOU NEVER SEEM TO LISTEN
SO I SAY IT ALL AGAIN
I TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU
BUT YOU NEVER HEAR A WORD
I MIGHT AS WELL BE TALKING TO THE BIRDS

CHORUS: AND THEY FLY AWAY
TO THE TREETOPS IN THE HILLS
AND YOU FLY AWAY
AND I GUESS YOU ALWAYS WILL
FLY AWAY AND LEAVE ME CRYING
LIKE YOU NEVER EVEN HEARD
I MIGHT AS WELL BE TALKING TO THE BIRDS

VERSE 2: I FEEL JUST LIKE A PARROT
CAUSE I'VE SAID IT ALL BEFORE
I CAN'T FINISH WHAT I'M SAYING
IF YOU'RE WALKING OUT THE DOOR
I COULD SPELL IT OUT IN TEARDROPS
BUT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU PREFER
I MIGHT AS WELL BE TALKING TO THE BIRDS

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3: I SHOUT IT FROM THE HILLS
AND I CAN SING IT TO THE SKY
THAT'S HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU
AND I WILL UNTIL I DIE
I COULD WRITE IT IN A LOVE SONG
BUT IT'S JUST A WASTE OF WORDS
AND I MIGHT AS WELL BE TALKING TO THE BIRDS

REPEAT CHORUS
