Birdie Bye Lyrics

I lit the paper of your night

I built the prison of your sight

I nailed the cross with roses white

Because love was all you ever wanted

I made your bed as soft as sand

I moved the mirror in your hand

I begged that you would understand

The peace was only to be haunted

I feel the shape of you sleeping

Comes in these visions

Sounds of you dreaming

I breathe the air of your colors

Soft as a rain falls

You gotta keep warm,

My love

No honeyed home the weeds have grown

No churchyard bells to guide you on

Your god is calling on the phone

He wants to know what can you afford now?

You closed the doors and shut your mind

The walls were creeping up behind

The only thing you had to find

Was how to learn to love the needle

I feel the shape of you sleeping

Comes in these visions

Sounds of you dreaming

I breathe the air of your colors

Soft as a rain falls

You gotta keep warm,

My love

I'll feed the grist unto your mill

The grit to bring your pearl its will

And smash your chrysalism 'till

The only thing you'll have to do is fly

I'll pit your star against the sky

I'll split the apple of your eye

The passion of your fruit will die

But thunder is a many feathered bird

Hey Hi, Birdie Bye

Time to fly, time to fly

Someone needs to know the things we sing about

You & I

Hey Hi, Birdie Bye

Time to fly, time to fly

Someone needs to know the things we sing about

You & I
