Bird In The Hand Lyrics
There's a man on the roadside
Standing in the shadow of a stop sign
When you think there's nowhere left for you to go
That's when you cling tight to the devil you know and you know
Let's go down to the river
Where the water runs still and deep
Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be
Drink till there's nothing left
Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath
Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves
A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe
There are rats in the silos
Drowning themselves in your sorrows
You can have your cake and eat it too
Now that the wall's too thick to chew your way out through, out through, out through
Let's go down to the river
Where the water runs still and deep
Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be
Drink till there's nothing left
Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath
Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves
A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe
Bird in the hand
(In the hand)
Bird in the hand
(In the hand)
Bird in the hand
(Lord, understand)
Bird in the hand
(Lord, understand)
Bird in the hand
Let's go down to the river
Where the water runs still and deep
Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be
Drink till there's nothing left
Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath
Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves
A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe
Now that's a miracle I can believe
Now that's a miracle I can believe
Now that's a miracle I can believe
Standing in the shadow of a stop sign
When you think there's nowhere left for you to go
That's when you cling tight to the devil you know and you know
Where the water runs still and deep
Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be
Drink till there's nothing left
Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath
Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves
A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe
Drowning themselves in your sorrows
You can have your cake and eat it too
Now that the wall's too thick to chew your way out through, out through, out through
Where the water runs still and deep
Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be
Drink till there's nothing left
Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath
Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves
A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe
(In the hand)
Bird in the hand
(In the hand)
Bird in the hand
(Lord, understand)
Bird in the hand
(Lord, understand)
Bird in the hand
Where the water runs still and deep
Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be
Drink till there's nothing left
Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath
Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves
A bird in the hand, now that's a miracle that I can believe
Now that's a miracle I can believe
Now that's a miracle I can believe
Now that's a miracle I can believe

Commenting on the new track 'Bird In The Hand' vocalist Jay Buchannan noted, “There’s a lyric in there, ‘Let’s go down to the river where the water runs still and deep, to scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be.’ You can burn through a whole lot of time just trying to find your lane, your realized intention. At some point you accept reincarnation as a waking process. Build, refine and burn again and again and the lyric, ‘A bird in the hand, now that’s a miracle I can believe’ is the immersive commitment to the present.”
