Take It Like A Man

Like a common loon I started hearing birds
 Birdsong everywhere a lark in the shower
 From the night to the morning after
 Warblers and wrens, hymn at my throat
 Shook and quivering, I could have crowed
 Oh I could have crowed
 I was snared by your wrist
 I know what the cost is
 The octaves of consequence
 I know the cost of flight is landing
 And I know I could take it like a man
 I know I could take it like a man
 Falls of fascinations the sky was leaking light
 Like your eyes do that shipwrecked expression
 I need more words for blue
 Trilling in the tree the way I measure you
 Fractured thirteenths that grin that you give
 When you want me to quit
 Falling further and falcon swift
 I know what the cost is
 In the octaves of consequence
 I know the cost of flight is landing
 And I know I can take it like a man
 I know I can take it like a man
 I know I can take it like a man
 Falling further and falcon swift
 I know what the cost is
 In the octaves of consequence
 I know the cost of flight is landing
 And I know I can take it like a man
