lyrics

breathing fall, set to settle in
i recall a sneaking fell suspicion
tying cloth to hide your face in
looking back it’s now all brighter than before
i remember your face’s fell transmission
dug a hole for me to climb in

i thought i saw a songbird
i was only dreaming
thought i heard the sun there
mistaken for the singing
honest in the way of a song
sleeping with the space heater on

staring down a weathervane
hoping it could change my tricky luck
now the metal rooster won’t shut up
holding up a pellet gun, i aim
for the iron beak that leaves me restless
i miss and leave the live thing breathless

i thought i saw a songbird
i was only dreaming
thought i heard the sun there
mistaken for the singing
honest in the way of a song
sleeping with the space heater on

you never know
but that’ll show that pesky bird
we never learn
we just get better at getting hurt

i know i saw a songbird fall into the leaf bed
its hollow limbs went and my heart was set to breaking
