Bluebird

Where I'm from the sun gets tired
 It sleeps while I'm awake
 I've succumb to my desires
 The least of my mistakes
 Jaws are knocking
 The walls are talking
 The word is on the street
 The rumors are milling
 The secrets are spilling
 They drop beneath the eaves
 I fear you've heard
 I got a bluebird
 She make a sound like fire
 She got a new perch
 She got a crown of briar
 She got a quick hand
 She's the sweetest thing
 She got a new man
 He got a golden ring
 Where I'm from the sun gets tired
 It settles in the trees
 See the last of the day's glow casted astray
 On the nettles and the leaves
 Stars ashine, light sparks the pine
 To the dark of my mind I go
 Fraught and baneful, my thoughts are tangled
 So I will take them slow
 These are my last words
 I got a bluebird
 She make a sound like fire
 She got a new perch
 She got a crown of briar
 I feel her quicksand
 There, below my feet
 She got a new man
 He got a golden ring
 Feel your heart beat slow
 I got a bluebird
 She make a sound like fire
 She got a new perch
 She got a crown of briar
 Rattle the tin can
 I should've clipped her wings
 She got a new man
 He got a golden ring
 I got a bluebird
 She make a sound like fire
 She got a new perch
 She got a crown of briar
 I seen her ghost dance
 Somewhere, in between
 She got a new man
 He got a golden ring
 There is a frame up on the wall and in between
 Lies a picture of your face
 It illuminates the room all night
 With a low french marigold glow
 Feel your heart beat slow
 Everything will be alright
