latin quarter - the hoopoe lyrics
way back when birds were fish
and all god’s creatures swam
who would see a virus traced
into the diagram
that learned to swim in seas of blood
that washed the body sh-r-
the viral tide that ebbed with you
then turns for claiming more
turns for claiming more
how comes is it birds for me
that always bring bad news
i see them in my dreams
and another day’s accused
of filling up with set-backs
crises and regret
but in this swamp, amnesia
oh, you i won’t forget
you i won’t forget
oh, in a field, my field of sight
i caught a moving bird
and while we ate beneath the vines
you spoke its native word
you gave that bird a name for me
then released it into flight
i will not forget the hoopoe
i won’t forget that night
i will not forget that night
way back when birds were fish
and all god’s creatures swam
who would see a virus traced
into the diagram
that learned to swim in seas of blood
that washed the body sh-r-
the viral tide that ebbed with you
then turns for claiming more
turns for claiming more
