Color Temperature - Birdwatching Lyrics

Why can't I just watch the birds
From my window with my binoculars
Without my neighbors watching me
Suspiciously like I'm a creep
I'm new in town and I'm afraid
To wander past the open gate
The irony is that I've moved
From lesser things in better shoes

I've resided in this town a spell
And I can say that I've been well
Some trees have gone and with that left
The birds I minded in their nest
Peninsula you gave me rain
You gave me sun you gave me wind
It's been a weathered year I fear
But I will keep a window here

I will keep me a window here
I will keep me a window
