Pigeon Song Lyrics
london, did you have to
take my child away?
you buried him under
rent and low pay.
I've been cyling in circles
round your empty streets.
i've been searching
in the pouring rain.
I've been going alone
to the cinema
I've been stealing all my food
from the electric avenue
now the pigeons gather
round my feeding hand.
and we talk til the evening fades.
I have learnt how it goes
what you wait for never shows
and what you least wanted
holds you down like a stone.
just like a stone.
Now i feed the birds.
day after day.
only they can hear me pray for
a lighter heart. a lighter load
to be moving. moving. moving
my way home.
take my child away?
you buried him under
rent and low pay.
I've been cyling in circles
round your empty streets.
i've been searching
in the pouring rain.
to the cinema
I've been stealing all my food
from the electric avenue
now the pigeons gather
round my feeding hand.
and we talk til the evening fades.
what you wait for never shows
and what you least wanted
holds you down like a stone.
just like a stone.
day after day.
only they can hear me pray for
a lighter heart. a lighter load
to be moving. moving. moving
my way home.

What!! how come noone's commented this before? this must be one of the best songs made inte the past ten years, it's so fucking amazing. this is one of those songs you know you'll never forget once you've heard it. reminds me a lot about "these days" by nico.
oh i love this song even more so live
its just like he said "its about being away from home"
i love the way patrick tells the stories of his life thoughout in each song.
This is such a pretty song. "I have learnt how it goes what you wait for never shows and what you least wanted holds you down like a stone. just like a stone." I love that line.
I adore this song. It conjures up imaes of Parisian streets for me, so lyes, fits in with the isea of being lost, alienated, and alone, in places unknown. Brilliant.

God, I love those last two lines, the way he sings them.. its just so gorgeous it makes me want to cry.
i can't describe how beautiful i think this song is.
Me neither. Stunning.
Probably one of my favourite songs by anyone.
