Feathers

When you flew away

You just left one feather

So I keep it in my pillow

So I'll dream of you at night

And your feathers were the color

Of the sun before it sets at night

And your eyes were as sharp

As the morning sunlight

Well I wish I could fly with you

Way up in the sky

But I guess I'll just be the tree you perch on

When things don't turn out right

And the lawn that my routes plunge into

Is lush and green and pure

And anyone would be mad to live there unhappy

But this tree has been standing

So still for so long

That now I think I must have lost my mind

For I long to fly up there with you

And leave all this behind

Behind, I long to fly up there with you

And leave all this behind

I long to fly up there with you

And leave all this behind
