nightjars - bird in the nighttime lyrics

Loading...

there’s a mule deer at the edge of my property
sniffing out the stars from where they hide in the stream
while you are away, i can feel your love passing over me
like a bird in the night on its way to sleep

there’s a time we’re glad to be alive
and i don’t know when it’s coming again
rising tides and the mythical wives
and the bars on the doors of the warrens
men stand with guns at the edge
of a lonely and terriblе fence

and evеry morning on the bus i watch the mountains rise
brown eye of my joy and a bird in the nighttime

but i don’t own the river or the deer
i swallow lumps of long+gone years
lay my head on a shoulder that shrugged me off
and i knew i was in the wrong
you don’t have to tell me twice, say the word, i’ll be gone

i said, i don’t want to ruin the night for you
you said, i don’t want to be there without you
he played finish line and you handed me a ribbon of the moon

oh, i’ll live long, but never long enough to love you like i want to
there’s a time right before my very eyes
that we’ll spend our whole lives living
in their eyes, i’m a mythical wife
and in mine, i’m a beast of a burden
you crash through every fence
and you know the boy i am

and every morning on the bus i watch the mountains rise
new moon, closed wound, slow burn in the nighttime

the mountains all alight
a fire lowlands away, my dear
and an old friend was not is a friend anew
he once said, it is all around
you don’t have to chase it down, say the word, cuz we do

there’s a time and a place intertwined
i could spend my whole life chasing
but i’m alive, i am real and surprised
as a yolk in a broken casing
when i can’t see you, we imagine warmer times

some morning on the bus we’ll hold each other tight
you’re the moon of my life, dear bird in the nighttime
