1000 RAINBOW LORIKEETS (2) (D G D F# B E)

A thousand rainbow lorikeets flew across the sky. A thousand shadows on the beach with nowhere else to be.

And everyone around agreed it was a beautiful day. As a thousand rainbow lorikeets flew away.

 

A thousand rainbow lorikeets melt into the night. Like a thousand candles on the beach.

And everyone just fell asleep exactly where they lay. Like a thousand rainbow lorikeets.

 

And everyone around agreed it was time to leave our nests. But no one had the nerve to go first.

Exploding blue and red and green. Illuminating faces I had never seen. While the sky silently lit up like fireworks.

 

As 1000 rainbow lorikeets gracefully depart. On a smooth but curved trajectory somewhere in our hearts.

Somewhere deep within the darkness is a love that we can harness.

As we fly towards the sunset.
