I watch you from a branch

The branch of a tree

While you live your life

Not noticing me


I fly overhead

Wherever you go

Whatever you do

I will know


From your saddest moment

To your brightest day

I watch it all

But to me, it's just grey


You're a lucky man

To live a life

With the true vision

Even through all the strife


The sun starts to set

 And we stare at it

As if it was, on the radio

The latest hit


You lie in your bed

But I peek through the window

Into the room

With a haunted glow


A car arrives

Darker than the rest

Some men get out

And go inside


They haul in a box

In which they put you

I await a response

But there's none from you


They take you away

And I'm all alone

But now, I suppose

I am all grown
