The birds all changed direction just before the sun went down
And you just watched and wondered what you're doing in this town
There's a darkness and a freedom, there's a sound you're trying to hear
Come the morning fall you've lost it all in this temperamental year
You never even had the time to learn from your mistakes
'Cause your fortune's moving so fast between good luck and heartache
And it felt so good to laugh then, though you ended up in tears
Every step you take they raise the stakes in this temperamental year
And they told me it was coming
They said there's no point, no point in running
And they told me it was coming
Just like that, like it was nothing
The wind breaks through the windows and the sun sneaks through the trees
And I feel like a pawn of this not-so-young century
Is there no place left for hiding, is there nothing left to fear
All you thought you knew is lost on you in this temperamental year
And they told me it was coming
They said there's no point, no point in running
And they told me it was coming
Just like that, like it was nothing
The birds all changed direction just before the sun went down
And you just watched and wondered what you're doing in this town
There's a darkness and a freedom, there's a sound you're trying to hear
Every step you take they raise the stakes in this temperamental year
All you thought you knew is lost on you in this temperamental year
