grand salvo - bird lyrics
i am a bird
with pretty peppered wings
and green across my throat
or maybe it’s more
like emerald from the sea
caught in a storm
wings tired and torn
i sheltered in a tree
and everything did dance
as if the world was mad
then came a groan
like tendons and bones
were torn and cracked and split
the tallest of them all
the river caught its fall
he was a man
with heavy gentle hands
he used to feed me grains
pecking from his palm
he’d fill my head with praise
then like a grub
becomes beautiful
he disappeared and then
came back as a bear
oh, i never saw
magic before
i know i will again
but until then
i’ll wait my one
until the day you come
now he’s a fish
and i can’t be with
him so i’ll wait instead
where the river ends
i know that we’ll meet there
so now all i do
is wait here for you
at this great oceans edge
coz
i know that you’ll be
a bird the next time
that we meet
