Ugly Moon - Songbird Lyrics

Wane, wane
A moon is gone
Black wing
The day is long
To be a bird of song
Goodnight

New day
To drift along
Black wing
The day is gone
Black day for bird of song

Funny the rest of us
Kept getting older
When you pulled the rug out from under the boulder
And fell like a star from some far away land
We all watched helpless our dicks in our hands
Now I've cried to my wife
I've cried to my daughter
Let your ghost step aside and I'll cry on your shoulder
And please take some time friend to write me a letter
And tell my 'bout life by the side of the fire

I said, Songbird
You knew right from wrong as if everything worked
Songbird
Half of the vision and all of the pain

Oh please don't you wake me
I won't give up this pain
I won't let this go now
I won't give up this pain
