Birds of a Feather

These are my reasons
The thorns in this season
We laugh it off, laugh it off
There in the water
I think that I oughta
Laugh it off, laugh it off...
Going along on this high road
I feel that every step is told
And I am a part
I am a part
I feel quiet
High and low
High, high, and low
Keep it together
We're birds of a feather
That fly, that fly
Or skim across the water
Or eat little things
Off the ground
These are my reasons
The birds and the seasons
We laugh it off, laugh it off

Thin Man
If you show me your mind, can I read it?
Will you look me in the eye once I've seen it?
Shadows pass over your hollowed-out mouth
as you're sleeping--
holding the lies you gave me and I have been keeping,
catching the salt that falls from my eyes as I'm weeping
Hope is the language I spoke to you when I belonged here
beneath the cracks of the doors we couldn't fit under
lying awake in our bed, I forgot what our names were
You're a thin man, air child
you're a thin man running wild
you're a thin man running wild
you're a thin man running wild
I know where you are but I can't touch you
when you are dreaming
Your mind is the air
and my body's the stone it is carving
and the night is always so loud
when it moves in around me
You're a thin man, air child
you're a thin man running wild
you're a thin man running wild
you're a thin man running wild
you're a thin man running wild

You'll Never Know

All the leaves stripped from the trees
leave bare arms waving
Take off your clothes,
feel the wind move through your bones
No, this is not the hand
this is not the hand that made you
no, no, no
You can spend your whole life searching,
but you know you'll never know
Take me down, take me down
take me down to the river
wanna wash my body, wash my body clean
Here every day feels like an endless winter
and even when the sun comes out,
the cold remains
I have two eyes, I have two eyes
but I have no way to see you
and these hands have felt your skin
but you were younger then, but you were younger then
Take me down, take me down
take me down to the water
wanna wash my body in the stream
And no, these are not the hands
these are not the hands that made you
no, no, no
You'll spend your whole life searching
but you know you'll never know
How will you ever know
will you ever know
will you ever know?

Fly Away
go back to bed
I am lonely
I have been counting the shadows
under your eyes
I know this won't last
and it's only a matter of time
until the sun erases the night
just lie there on your back
with your eyes open
just lie here in my bed
while the streetlights pour into your eyes
I feel so empty now that we've spoke
I could choke on the silence
between you and I
love was a bird
a wingless shadow stretched over the moon
love is a bird that won't fly away
why won't you fly away
why won't you fly away
fly away, fly away
fly on, fly on
go on, get up
I am ready
to take out the thorns
you have planted under my skin
they pull on my body
like slivers of light
coming in through my window pane
just lie there on your back
with your eyes open
just lie here in my bed
while the streetlights pour into your eyes
I feel so empty now that we've spoke
I could choke on the silence
between you and I
love was a bird
a wingless shadow stretched over the moon
love is a bird that won't fly away
why won't you fly away
why won't you fly away
fly away, fly away
fly on, fly on
(just lie there on your back
with your eyes open
just lie here in my bed
while the streetlights pour into your eyes
I feel so empty now that we've spoke
I could choke on the silence
between you and I)
love is a bird that won't fly away
why won't you fly away
why won't you fly away
fly away, fly away
fly on, fly on
fly on, fly on

This is the face I have made out of memory
from all of the blackness that lives in my head
I pick up my things from the floor when I wake up
and I put them back in the evening again
these are the visions I have when I'm sleeping
the shuddering moon sitting up in the sky
I'm not in the mood to bite every sorrow
but if I can taste them, I'll certainly try
I'm always waiting for night's walls to break up
to peel back the covers that cover my mind
you're always waiting for transmitter take-up
I always feel like I'm lagging behind
I'm always wanting to take off my jacket
to feel the explosion of stars in my eyes
the memory of repetitive motion
that plays like a symphony over my thighs
and where you live
is where you'll be buried
and when you dream
that's where you're born
and the moon never hangs
in both skies on the same night
still I can hear in your voice
that where you're living
is where you'll be buried
and when you're dreaming
that's where you're born
and the moon never hangs
in both skies on the same night
still I can hear in your voice
still I can hear in your voice
