I've been perched outside your window pane for such a long, long time
That I don't recall when I died
You've been hiding on the other side for such a long, long time
That it seems you're trapped inside
Did you notice me? Did you notice me?
Seems I saw you look my way
You're birdwatching today
When you slowly raised that window glass, I was perched here on the ledge
I was not sure my legs could stand
I saw you smiling from inside the house as I perched on the ledge
And slowly you held out your hand
Did you notice me? Did you notice me at all?
Seems I saw you look my way
You're birdwatching today
