Love, I know, it's been a long, long year What we lived in the flicker of the light I hung those feathers like hair upon your shoulder Best not untethered our bodies to the ground
Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope Cradled by the dawn The afterglow, a mothers' love A deer trail in the snow
I keep the static playing on the radio You move through the room With a misty halo
Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope Cradled by the dawn The afterglow, a mothers' love A deer trail in the snow And we unfold to the edge of it A crimson sky hangs low A rush of blood, a blow A deer trail in the snow
Like a flightless bird on a wide-winged hope Cradled by the dawn The afterglow, a mothers' love A deer trail in the snow And we unfold to the edge of it A crimson sky hangs low A rush of blood, a blow A deer trail in the snow
