Kt Tunstall - White Bird lyrics

rate me

White bird with a black tail

Half dark, and a face so pale

Do you know what your future holds?

Over your side of the road

White bird with a black tail

You look like an open sail

Made me look up from my shoes

To show me what you stand to lose.

White bird, white bird

With your face so pale

White bird, white bird

Where'd you get that tail?

White bird, white bird

With a black tail

White feathers dipped in tar

Hard to tell how old you are

Wondering how much you know

About all of us below

Half of you is heavenly,

Showing off your purity.

The rest of you is from the street

Like to laugh where they both meet

White bird, white bird

With your face so pale

White bird, white bird

Where'd you get that tail?

White bird, white bird

With your face so pale

White bird, white bird

With a black tail.
