lyrics

Plumage

something came to take me
in the darkness of the night
like a huge bird swooping down
no chance evasive flight

yes love was a raptor
a taloned beast of prey
i was sitting by the bed
then quickly swept away

i’d been dying by degrees
just bread crumbs to protect
way beyond my little will
bold plumage would direct

we can’t know the outcome
the whole thing sounds absurd
who believes in acts of fate
the swift wings of a bird

i’d been dying by degrees
just bread crumbs to protect
way beyond my little will
bold plumage would direct

now i lie here naked
in the soft folds of a nest
love lets out her savage cry
and i fall cursed and blessed

i’d been dying by degrees
just bread crumbs to protect
way beyond my little will
bold plumage would direct 2x plus last line
