Pigeon Lady Lyrics

I don't know if you remember me
You must already be in your 30s
I wonder if you still think of me
Some things you just have to choose to believe
And I hope
That you know I don't feel alone
I don't
Nothing's changed after that Christmas Eve
20 years spent with my feather family
I was too old to change anything
I hope you are not disappointed in me
And I hope that you know
I don't feel alone
I don't
This park is my only home
Nowhere else to go
Bodies growing cold
Turtle doves still in my clothes
So many years ago
I don't feel alone
Tonight
There will be no funeral for me
Pigeons are not good at that kind of thing
Maybe you're the one who will find me
Some things you just have to choose to believe
And I know
That you know
I don't feel alone
I don't
This park is my only home
Nowhere else to go
Bodies growing cold
Turtle doves still in my clothes
I'm ready to go
I don't feel alone
Tonight

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is a reference to Pigeon Lady, a character in the movie Home Alone 2. (Spoilers) Throughout the movie, Kevin learns that Pigeon Lady once had a family and a lover, but her lover abandoned her and she lost trust in humanity. She eventually became homeless, living in central park and preferring the company of pigeons to people. She felt that people tend to ignore her and wish she weren't there, just like they do with pigeons. At the end of the movie, Kevin promises to never forget Pigeon Lady, and to affirm this promise, he gifts her one of his two turtle doves. This song takes place many years after the end of the movie. It's narrated by Pigeon Lady and shows her internal dialogue as she nears the end of her life, wondering if Kevin has kept his promise not to forget her after all these years.
