Bird Girl (or Elaborate Tombstone, See How She Shines)


VI/
She was once a little girl like you
Waiting out her days like all the rest
Spring brought rain and love, it always did
What a funny pair, they make those two

PreChorus/
Outside the world is only lonely
Why are the hills so high? I open up but it only shows me
Why do I try? When I should…

Chorus/
Spin, Spin
Where I end you begin
But it won’t matter much if we keep on turning
Higher, Higher
Let our dance feed the fire
It never takes this long, but baby that’s the sun coming up

VII/
Midnight was her favorite time of day
Just a stone faced place to rest your wing
Balance both with elbows at her side
At the stroke they all crawl out to play

PreChorus

Chorus

Bridge/
Cold, chiseled stone molded to perfection
Who’s whispering in your ear?
Tilting your head in the wrong direction
I fear, I fear

Chorus
