[Intro]         (The one thing that matters to me more than anything else is this idea of Denis being a bird) [Verse 1] Can a bird ever truly rest? Can a bird ever truly rest? Can it sleep In the air? Is it longing to be somewhere out of its tree Close to home? [Verse 2] Can a memory truly rest? Can a memory fly the nest? Does it move In the air? Can you hold it for me Somehow just within reach When I’m old? [Pre-Chorus] I’ll never forget the spring in your step To get to where you had to get I can see the back of your head Then it’s gone [Chorus] To the blue We remember how you flew Denis was a bird   Denis was a bird   Denis was a bird             [Verse 3] Does a thought ever truly rest? Does a thought ever truly rest? Does it roam like a road Is it out there for me? Apple up in the tree Will it fall? [Pre-Chorus] I can picture your take off and land Like it was yesterdays land Teleport ’round the garden Then you’re gone [Chorus] To the blue Like the ancient meadows knew Denis was a bird   Denis was a bird   Denis was a bird           [Bridge] Nothing to save no more weather delays Nothing to lose no more troubles for you [Pre-Chorus] I can still see you running around And if it stays in my mind then it’s not gone [Chorus] To the blue We remember how you flew Denis was a bird   Denis was a bird   Denis was a bird             [Outro] I’ll never forget the spring in your step To get to where you had to get
