Birds
From Shannon Wright
[edit]
Lyrics
Deep beneath the sound of your breath I lay craving your death This damp room full of concrete Lonely i start And alone i will leave There is no reason for your display Now a dead cloud that's drawn clean When all the birds have broken their wings Oh mercy you Oh mercy me And all at once i turned I follow your hand to our funeral bed It echoes my name When sorrow sings It brings me no chance we'll ever mend When all the noise is driven away There's my love, now it's stained Gallant words You must refrain Lonely i stand And alone i will leave There is no reason to your display You're a fable Now come clean When all the birds have broken their wings Oh mercy you Oh mercy me And all at once i turned I follow your hand to our funeral bed It echoes my name When sorrow sings It brings me no chance we'll ever mend Walk, walk walk walk away Burn, burn burn, burn into flames Shy, shy, shy, shy away Over this past Over this pain And all at once i turned I follow your hand to our funeral bed It echoes my name When sorrow sings It sings me no chance we'll ever mend
