South Went the Bird

Came to me in the water
Wearing your easiest smile
Thought I was someone else's daughter
That got us talking a while
Came to me in my home
Southern bird, north-bound
Ruby leaves, we made for the road
You caught me with my guard left down
Well we watched the fire burn across the bay
Heard the sirens howl, knew that they would come our way
Well we watched the fire burn across the bay
Heard the sirens howl knew that they would come our way
Sun and moon, rolling through the days Sweetest apple, gold to the core
Winter grew and we fed the flames
Like greedy fools, coming back for more
Every night, I watched you
Watching me from the back of the room
What else was I meant to do?
Well we watched the fire burn across the bay
Heard the sirens howl knew that they would come our way
The day came and south went the bird
I knew the story, we wrote the lines
That don't mean the punchline doesn't hurt
We are the flaws in the design
