birdsong for breakfast
Twelve moons ago
The river stopped
But the flowers couldn't sleep
Without the sound of the water
Without the sound of the water
You can't dance
All night on an empty stomach
So i don't stay
I don't stay out late
When you learn to like the smoke
In your fingers that stops you holding on
You must learn to say
I can't play any louder
I'm sorry i can't play any louder
My wrists they're breaking
I can't play louder
You can't eat
This morning's birdsong for breakfast
You can't float above this place
Each feather will remind you
When you're too small
When you're too small to fly
You'll blow away
You'll blow away
You'll blow away
The river stopped
But the flowers couldn't sleep
Without the sound of the water
Without the sound of the water
You can't dance
All night on an empty stomach
So i don't stay
I don't stay out late
When you learn to like the smoke
In your fingers that stops you holding on
You must learn to say
I can't play any louder
I'm sorry i can't play any louder
My wrists they're breaking
I can't play louder
You can't eat
This morning's birdsong for breakfast
You can't float above this place
Each feather will remind you
When you're too small
When you're too small to fly
You'll blow away
You'll blow away
You'll blow away
