Blue Gum Bird

from Paper Aeroplanes by Worrywort

lyrics

Summer's gone, it's 1980
The final box is all packed up
And all your friends are on the drive
They came to say goodbye

And down your arms the years come streaming
The Blue Gum Bird has been replaced
And as you turn to pull away
The heavens start to cry

And all this time it didn't matter
If you came first or last
The world you thought that you were changing
Was never in your grasp
Ignore those tales on television
The best you can has always been enough

Winter's flown, the city's changing
The face of home has all grown up
The places where you used to play
Have all been built anew

The neighbours kids, in empty car parks
Flying their paper aeroplane
And up it soars, the Blue Gum Bird
They named it after you

And all this time it didn't matter
If you were right or wrong
The love you thought that you were missing
Was with you all along
Ignore those taunts of inner demons
The best you can has always been enough
