Birds

I have this tension in my jaw that
Needs to drop
Throw one more needle of hay on that stack
To throw my head back
And to see you and the
One thousand comebacks
In your eyes kiss their sweet demise

I crave the summer
While you wait for winter
But if I were a wave
I know you'd be my summer day

You long for "Baby" and "Darlin'"
(And I would but)
I swear I hear the
Birds sing your name quite often

I know I have the soul of a villain
And the look of a gentleman
So from my shins, I'll breathe in
And I will fix me

You long for "Baby" and "Darlin'"
(And I would but)
I swear I hear the
Birds sing your name quite often

It doesn't matter if the wind goes
And does turn to stone
The birds will bring you right back home

And if the ocean doesn't move
Neither will my heart for you

You long for "Baby" and "Darlin'"
(And I would but)
I swear I hear the
Birds sing your name quite often
