Feathers

History's made its mark in anger
 As everybody knows it's what we do
 It's nothing new
 The next chords struck are fault and failure
 And we both know that finger points on cue
 There's blame for two
 Do you really want him calling, Newo?
 Do you really think he's coming back to you?
 Oh, once the world stops spinning
 Read that writing on the wall
 Another, Newo?
 Is there cushion just enough to break my fall?
 Oh, don't you cry just lie there baby, in the past
 'Cause if you want it all
 Right now, hide your feathers on the back porch, baby
 He's coming home, for you've been such a liar
 Hide your feathers, little back porch lady
 You're too old enough to cry your sorry eyes out (over the world)
 Hear me scream outside your window
 I'm only here to make my peace with you there's something new
 Oh, it was our time, that day in our lives
 If I could do things different, what would I choose?
 Oh, don't you cry, Mama
 Please don't cry, Mama
 Oh, don't you cry, no, no
 Right now, hide your feathers on the back porch, baby
 He's coming home, for you've been such a liar
 Hide your feathers, little back porch lady
 You're too old enough to cry your sorry eyes out
 No other could wait for a lover to embrace, boy
 When there's no more room for love
 You'll sell her off to the sharks
 No other could wait for a lover to embrace, boy
 When there's no more room for love
 You'll sell her off to the sharks
