Black Wing Bird

A black wing bird
lit down upon my back
it's a long distance call

I've been waiting here
where you at
read that writing on the wall

The seven wonders
of your summer dress
your subtleties and your ambulance

You keep calling
every night on the phone
saying sorry
but you're all alone and

It's a lonely rain
It's a lonely rain coming down
There's a sea of change
nearly drowning you

Now you can charm
all the fish from the sea
take your sweet time and take your liberties

but you're still just a babe
in the woods to me
you're running scared
from all you could be well

The seven wonders
of your summer dress
The straight and narrow
and all my digression

You keep calling
every night on the phone
saying sorry
but you're all alone and

It's a lonely rain
It's a lonely rain coming down
There's a sea of change
nearly drowning you
