periwinkle - feathers lyrics

[verse 1]
now listen to a story, it’s from the grandmas too
and it’s one that i would like very much to share with you
it’s a story of a man who just could not be true
to himself or any other, and his life he did rue

[verse 2]
to a holy man he told how he had tricked and cheated his friends
how he lied and distorted the truth time and time again
so many poor people he did wound and offend
but now he had a change of heart, and would like to make amends

[verse 3]
but the holy man looked saddened and shook his head
“there’s a lеsson to be learned hеre for everyone”, he said
“it may come the hawk or the raven or the wren
just a small bag of feathers can be good medicine”

[verse 4]
“so now take this bag and then pray before
placing just one feather in front of every door
of all those you have violated and injured one more
you’ll return the empty bag as it won’t even even up the score”

[verse 5]
but the man he was so grateful that he almost wept for joy
and to think that all his evil deeds he could finally destroy
and then he made a vow that he’d nevermore toy
with any creature’s life, man, woman, girl, or boy
[verse 6]
“oh wait, take this bag again”, the holy man did say
“pick up those same feathers that you dropped there today”
but when the man went back, it was much to his dismay
he found that the wind, yes, he found that the wind
he found that the wind had blown them all away
