The Wind Up Bird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
These books were alive
they spoke to me.
the books have nothing to say!)
Inside ahead, it was a flood of white noise
Aside the chair, it shut down for four days
Green and brown are growing sweet (...)
You run the bar in through a picture of your time
The wind-up bird was her new muse (x3)
She made the frontpage bad news
Tell me a story inside
Lie if you like but make the details true in my mind
We need to feel absoluty wrapped in your glove
Lie back and listen
as I read you, my love.
The low mower sat, sharpened his blades
And we all told you that it's good to be scared
I turned the page and start laughing at my friends
I looked into her eyes, so that we could pretend
The wind-up bird was her new muse
She made the frontpage bad news
The wind-up bird was her new muse
She made the frontpage bad news
(What is that over there?
That? That's a rocket chair)
We need to feel absoluty wrapped in your glove
Lie back and listen
as I read you, my love
Tell me a story inside
Lie if you like but make the details true in my mind
We need to feel absoluty wrapped in your glove
Lie back and listen
as I read you, my love.
