A Field Of Birds

A little bird

Came right up to me

Found a thread, oh

Hanging from my sleeve

Then he flew up high

Until I fell apart

Stitches, they all flew, oh

From why did my heart

So then a little girl

Came and found my bones

She built a meadow

She should have made him watch

As the meadowlark

Found that needle's eye

As he made that patch, oh

For my broken sky

And so the winter night

Came down to our hands

Trying to steal, oh

What could soothe a man

Yes and still I knew

That old dark was mine

And it's fading out, oh

Every star I find

And so... By the day

Little girl and I

Shook all trees, oh

To see what would fly

And it's times like these

There's no need for words

I just need to find, ohhhhh...

I need a field of birds
