Broken Birds 03:29
i cannot fly, I could not fly only the light may gravity cheat and I landed hard upon the stones, and it broke the bones in both my feet I spent 6 month locked inside while healed the bones and raged my heart the oxycontin burned my brain and loneliness tore my soul apart I cannot walk on these broken birds if I cannot fly, if they cannot bear me come other feet, come other wings come lift, wheel, love, come carry me when I returned to Terra's firm, i thought that life could begin again but every step like a dagger shot to fill each step with fire and pain i lie beneath a painting green i lie beneath a weeping sky on the bed of stone that brought me home i'm ready now to fall and fly I cannot walk on these broken birds if I cannot fly, if they cannot bear me come other feet, come other wings come lift, wheel, love, come carry me dragonfly, linnet, lark, mosquito look crow albatross, sparrow seagull bat, gnat, paramedic, chickadee mourning dove, angel, eagle... I will fall into darkness that light I may rise come darling kiss my closing eye will fall into darkness that light i may rise, pogue ma hone and kiss my closing eye i cannot fly, i could not fly...

I came down the mountain, to give my horn a blow thought I heard that pretty little mis say "yonder comes my beau.." Rode in with the Buckskin Boys, by Commander Cohen "pardon me" he said quietly "I believe your love is showing." the mountain girls were sweet, the valley girls are fine I met this smart and pretty little miss and I had to make her mine Petite Marie de la Bois sweeter than you all the reason i love the girl I love she comes whenever I call comes whenever I call, comes whenever I call reason i love the girl I love she comes whenever I call if you see me coming, you better step aside walking like i'm 9 feet tall i'm aching for my bride met her in the summertime got married in the fall the reason i love the girl I love she comes whenever I call comes whenever I call, comes whenever I call reason i love the girl I love she comes whenever I call Lost out on the river waves a crashing over freezing in the water sent a prayer out to my lover she leapt from bed and in her gown she pulled me from the squall the reason i love the girl I love she comes whenever I call comes whenever I call, comes whenever I call reason i love the girl I love she comes whenever I call
