Hawksley Workman - Winter Bird lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Speak to me of sadness

Speak to me of pain

Tell me how your heart leaps

At the thought of spreading your wings again

Tell me of your hunger

How your instinct doesn't drain

The unexplainable longing that comes

When the snow turns into rain

(Pre-Chorus)

You say a part of you dies (You say a part of you dies)

You say a heart never lies (You say a heart never lies)

You say you've never tripped when they've tried to

Pull the world all over your eyes

(Chorus)

Winter bird, I don't know what I got to do

Winter bird, I don't know what I got to do

Winter bird, I don't know what I got to do

(Verse 2)

I've been careful up on one hand

People use compassion, you were fake

And you've always had a keen sense

Of who's love was real and who's was fake

You telegraph your movement

The ancient paths you take

They say it's only repetition

And the choices you make for survival's sake

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

How long will it take

But I'm waiting for your heart to go cold

In the middle of the night

Surrender to the voice

Made me start calling, made me start calling you again

(Chorus)
