Bird Lyrics
I am a bird
With pretty peppered wings
And green across my throat
Or maybe it’s more
Like emerald from the sea
Caught in a storm
Wings tired and torn
I sheltered in a tree
And everything did dance
As if the world was mad
Then came a groan
Like tendons and bones
Were torn and cracked and split
The tallest of them all
The river caught its fall
He was a man
With heavy gentle hands
He used to feed me grains
Pecking from his palm
He'd fill my head with praise
Then like a grub
Becomes beautiful
He disappeared and then
Came back as a bear
Oh, I never saw
Magic before
I know I will again
But until then
I'll wait my one
Until the day you come
Now he’s a fish
And I can't be with
Him so I'll wait instead
Where the river ends
I know that we’ll meet there
So now all I do
Is wait here for you
At this great oceans edge
Coz
I know that you’ll be
A bird the next time
With pretty peppered wings
And green across my throat
Or maybe it’s more
Like emerald from the sea
Wings tired and torn
I sheltered in a tree
And everything did dance
As if the world was mad
Like tendons and bones
Were torn and cracked and split
The tallest of them all
The river caught its fall
With heavy gentle hands
He used to feed me grains
Pecking from his palm
He'd fill my head with praise
Becomes beautiful
He disappeared and then
Came back as a bear
Magic before
I know I will again
But until then
I'll wait my one
Until the day you come
And I can't be with
Him so I'll wait instead
Where the river ends
I know that we’ll meet there
Is wait here for you
At this great oceans edge
Coz
A bird the next time
