lyrics

I found an aviary down among the pines
Our love is stationary, we keep it in the lines
Do you want me
Do you need me to stick around?

Down at the mortuary the nurse is clearing signs
You came to me with prairie moons inside your eyes
Will you want me
Will you need me to stick around?

It never rains and I’m not sure the pain
In our hearts is rational or part of the game
The smoke moves fast and I’m not sure the past
Really happens, if at all
There’s holes in the wall

Outside a boy was selling birds to anyone
I bought a white crowned sparrow painted on a sun
I do want you
I do need you to stick around

It never rains and I’m not sure the pain
In our hearts is natural or part of the game
The smoke clears fast I’m still not sure the past
Really happens, if at all
There’s holes in the wall

I found an aviary for you
You’ll find a place to bury me
You’ll find a place to bury me
