My cheeks red like fire engines racing
Straight to the heat of your skin
And I know our days are numbered,
Early bird of the summer you'll fly south
Just as the fall begins

Gone is the pale hand of winter
Here is the first flush of May
And soon I will discover whether
Birds of the summer
Fly in circles or
Just fly away

Additional Comments
Flowers to welcome a bitter cold spring. It's snowing on Sunday.

On a side note, beautiful song by AFF; I can't believe they're on DA
