| The Innocence Mission – Birdless Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure this song is referring to having difficulty having children. Saint Gerard is the patron saint of children. "Saint Gerard. Who was lost in the snow." "When we are birdless, Flowerless in the spring" is also pretty clear. I can relate to this tune a little too well. It's longing is tangible. And, oddly, Carlisle (I assume this is Carlisle, PA) was always a place I only ended up in when lost. |
