The way you move your legs
The way you prance on the sand
The memory of all that
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
The way you flap your wings
The way you honk and grunt
The way you haunt my dreams
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
The way you lay your eggs
The way you dance to attract a mate
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
No, they can’t take that away from me
The way you dine on shrimp
The way feathers turn pink
The way you changed my life
No, no, they can’t take that away from me
No, they can’t take that away
Can’t take that away
Can’t take that away from me
