Origineel
[Verse 1]
There's a blue bird at my window
I can't hear the songs he sings
All the jewels in heaven
They don't look the same to me
I just wade the tides that turned
'Til I learn to leave the past behind
[Chorus]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Verse 2]
All the battlements are empty
And the moon is laying low
Yellow roses in the graveyard
Have no time to watch them grow
Now I bade a friend farewell
I can do whatever pleases me
[Chorus]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Verse 3]
Press my face up to the window
To see how warm it is inside
See the things that I've been missing
Missing all this time
[Chorus]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
Vertaling
[Verse 1]
Er zit een blauwe vogel voor mijn raam
Ik kan de liedjes die hij zingt niet horen
All the jewels in heaven
They don't look the same to me
I just wade the tides that turned
Tot ik leer het verleden achter me te laten
[refrein]
het zijn alleen maar leugens die ik leef
Het zijn alleen maar tranen die ik huil
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Verse 2]
All the battlements are empty
And the moon is laying low
Yellow roses in the graveyard
Heb geen tijd om ze te zien groeien
Nu heb ik een vriend vaarwel gezegd
Ik kan doen wat mij behaagt
[refrein]
Het zijn alleen maar leugens die ik leef
Het zijn alleen maar tranen die ik huil
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
[Verse 3]
Ik druk mijn gezicht tegen het raam
To see how warm it is inside
See the things that I've been missing
Missend al die tijd
[refrein]
It's only lies that I'm living
It's only tears that I'm crying
It's only you that I'm losing
Guess I'm doing fine
