jealous of the birds - shiloh chandra lyrics

Loading...

my name is shiloh chandra and there’s moonlight in my blood
i’ve bathed in pools of __ and blossom with the buds
i loved a man who died at war but didn’t leave a will
so i’m headed south tomorrow on the route to bougainville

well now i’m off reciting the address of jack marquez
to a cab driver with rosaries and then he softly says
that jack left with a woman on the first morning of lent
they hitched a ride right out of town and didn’t pay a cent

and he sang ah
ah (x3)

the gypsies pin carnations to the pockets of their coats
and hand me scr+ps of paper scrawled with poems that they wrotе
while travelling the country ovеr bridges to the sea
adorned with feathered necklaces and handmade machetes

and they sang ah
ah (x3)

i tried to get my doctorate but couldn’t bear the weight
instead i picked dropped strawberries in the fields ’til it got late
and drank with all the workers who had lost and found their way
i made a toast to stars above and thanked them for our days
and we sang ah
ah (x3)

and we sang ah
ah (x3)
