Mouthwings Lyrics
The way one feels could be likened to
An opening or a slamming or a grieving heart
All of them, all of them have seen inside my mouth,
Have grown and flown south
One day, I’ll be my own lead belly and I will grow a baby
Oh, he will move so swiftly to hold me completely
All of them, all of them have pushed into the air
All of them, all of them will bathe with me
When we are safe in the salty caves
An opening or a slamming or a grieving heart
All of them, all of them have seen inside my mouth,
Have grown and flown south
Oh, he will move so swiftly to hold me completely
All of them, all of them have pushed into the air
All of them, all of them will bathe with me
When we are safe in the salty caves

From the Mountain Man website:
"Mouthwings is a song about creating for the love you will eventually receive, as opposed to loving the creation itself. It is also about being a mother, or what amelia thinks being a mother might feel like. Amelia wrote this song in her backyard one spring afternoon while the neighbors were yelling and the cat would not leave her alone."
