Birds

I have this tension in my jaw that

Needs to drop

Throw one more needle of hay on that stack

To throw my head back

And to see you and the

One thousand comebacks

In your eyes kiss their sweet demise

I crave the summer

While you wait for winter

But if I were a wave

I know you'd be my summer day

You long for "Baby" and "Darlin'"

(And I would but)

I swear I hear the

Birds sing your name quite often

I know I have the soul of a villain

And the look of a gentleman

So from my shins, I'll breathe in

And I will fix me

You long for "Baby" and "Darlin'"

(And I would but)

I swear I hear the

Birds sing your name quite often

It doesn't matter if the wind goes

And does turn to stone

The birds will bring you right back home

And if the ocean doesn't move

Neither will my heart for you

You long for "Baby" and "Darlin'"

(And I would but)

I swear I hear the

Birds sing your name quite often
