Wandering Kind

A strange July

a storm came down

from the North and pulled out the salt

and it tore out the leaves from the pear tree

my canopy

In the twigs and the bugs of sow

I knew somehow i was free

I held a stone above my bones

i was shaking

In the blue stained glass church

you gathered up my heart

soldered together all the tiny, shattered parts

I said "All I can see in front of me

is the armpit of a crow"

you closed the wing

opened the door

and you ran into the summer yard

'Cause the sun's been known to shine on our wandering kind

yeah, the sun's been known to shine on our wandering kind

Clocking on her wooden board

the tattooed girl took up her swords

and plunged them down into the earth

a twinkling tide filled up her eyes

and poured out to the lawn

we made a raft out of the scraps of her skirt

and sailed 'til dawn

'Cause the sun's been known to shine on our wandering kind

yeah, the sun's been known to shine on our wandering kind

(Repeat)

Our wandering kind (fade out)
