A Wing And A Heart Lyrics

V1

My house has two chambers and an ocean between them

Sometimes I go diving, searching for a good reason

to stay or to go

V2

My house is a wounded feather-soft bird

I feel it flutter, still so warm in my hand

Oh, my home has a wing and a heart

Pre1

Lately I’ve been losing sleep

Funny how some things can feel so real

CH1

Like my mother calling from the edge of the room

and my grandmother playing a glorious tune

and my sister is dancing with wine in her hand

but my colors keep shifting (drifting away)

and I don’t know where I land

I don’t know where I land

V3

My house is a planet floating in the sky

I don’t know whether it’s living or if it has already died

V4

Sometimes I wonder if I should choose between

summer and winter, yellows and greens

but when I close my eyes and glide through the air

my wingtips can touch all the gold and the turquoise the blues and the crimson the pinks and the ambers the songs I am missing

CH2

Like my mother calling from the edge of the room

and my grandmother playing a glorious tune

and my sister is dancing with wine in her hand

and I’m rubbing my temples, I’m trying to stand

But I’m losing my grip and I don’t understand

how my colors keep shifting (drifting away)

and I still don’t know where I’ll land
