Bird - Bedouine

I kept the bottle we drank from together

I don’t know, is that insane?

It’s just every once in a while you’ve

Got to remind yourself

That it’s you against the rain

And I’m not sure yet who will win

If there’s a heaven and if there’s a hell

I’m sure that we’ll wind up there together

And dine there as well

In the eyes of the other

Breaking bread over anecdotes

Of what, I don’t know

But something funny, I’m sure

And bird, if I held you too tight

Bird, if you were warm through the night

I will let go

As wide as the storm that does brew

I will let go of you

I will let go of you

Some days are harder than other days

As I wait like strings to be plucked

To the tune of a song you sang to me one day

Rikki-Tikki-Tavi

And bird, if your wings have gone clipped

As I pressed myself to your lips

I’ll release you

With what is left of your wings

I will leave you to sing

I will leave you to sing

And bird, if love went awry

Each time I looked too deep in your eyes

I’ll look away so that you can fly away

I’ll even lead you astray

I will lead you astray

I will lead you astray

I will lead you (astray)

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)

(Lead you astray)
