Birds Mutton Ngaire
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
