lyrics
DEAD WINGS BEAT
Bird,
sing to me
calming words
or mellow, mellow, mellow melodies
made of milk, or honey
made of dust and birdseed.
Please.
Will you tie me up?
Tie me to the kitchen door.
When the bad men come.
When the bad men come.
Don't let them tear our house down.
Don't let them tear the old house
down, down, down, down,
let them tear the old house
down, down, down, down,
let them tear the old house
down, down, down, down,
let them tear the old house
down, down, down, down,
let them tear the old house down.
Bird,
will you sing to me?
If I can make my heart beat?
If I can make my own heart
beat, beat, beat, beat,
I can make my own heart
beat, beat, beat, beat,
I can make my own heart
bloom
yellow stones,
smiles drain,
a whippoorwill hits the windshield,
what all the time in the world won't heal,
if I could make your dead wings
beat, beat, beat, beat,
I could make your dead wings
beat, beat, beat, beat,
I could make your dead wings
beat, beat, beat, beat,
I could make your dead wings
beat, beat, beat, beat,
I could make your dead wings beat.
