Fleeting Bird

Last night I dreamt the world would end
Neath the early morning sky
Sun set fire to the fields
Where I once ran as a child
I woke unsettled in your arms
Where so many have before
Though you are a fleeting bird
Somehow I still expected more

You draw new blood from old scars

As you unfold your paper hands
And wipe the ink beneath your eyes
The fractured light catches your hair
And I just wish that I could die
Here with you before you wake
Forever by your side
Say something sweet before I go
Feign another hard goodbye

You draw new blood from old scars

So, this morning I woke up again
Seems the world has found a way
I turn my wounds up to the morning sun
And dry my blood in light of day
Baptized in the fire fields
Where I once ran as a child
Though my innocence has come and gone
I've learned again to feel

You draw new blood from old scars
