If you make your way up to Oregon Inlet
just at the turning of the year
Open your eyes as you reach the marshland
for all of the birds in the world meet there
And when the spring tide is changing
The coastline and everything’s wild
and everything’s new
The beating of bird’s wings will carry
the music of a thousand secrets home to you

If I could gather all the people like soft bird
feathers then I know which ones I’d choose
I’d choose the water lovers
and the earth mothers and the ones with nothing to lose
I’d give them wings and watch them soar
with their newfound freedom to the sky
And you’d see them winging and you’d hear
them singing as you quietly passed by

If you make your way up to Oregon Inlet
just at the turning of the year
Open your eyes as you reach the marshland
for all of the birds in the world meet there

If I could gather all the people
like soft bird feathers then I know which ones I’d choose
I’d choose the water lovers
and the earth mothers and the ones with nothing to lose
I’d give them wings and watch them
soar with their newfound freedom to the sky
And you’d see them winging and
you’d hear them singing as you quietly passed by

If you make your way up to Oregon Inlet
just at the turning of the year
Open your eyes as you reach the marshland
for all of the birds in the world meet there
And you want to find me that’s where I’ll be.
I’ll be waiting. I’ll be waiting for you
At Oregon Inlet
