Did you forget that yellow bird?
How could you forget your yellow bird?
She took a small silver wreathe and pinned it onto me
she said 'this one will bring you love'
I don't know if it's true but I keep it for good luck
And I know you have a heavy heart
I can feel it when we kiss
So many men stronger than me have throw their back out trying to lift it
And I'm not sure what the trouble was that started all of this
the reasons all have run away but the feeling never did
It's not something I would recommend, but it is one way to live
And Laura's asleep in my bed
as I'm leaving she wakes up and says
'I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave,
baby don't go away, come here"
And there's kids playing guns in the street
one's pointing his tree branch at me
So I put my hands up I said 'enough is enough
if you walk away I'll walk away'
and he shot me dead
and the world's got me dizzy again
you think after 22 years I'd be used to the spin
and it only feels worse when I stay in one place
I never really dreamed of heaven much until we put him in the ground
but it's all I'm doing now
listening for patterns in the sound
But me I'm a single cell
on a serpent's tongue
there's a muddy field
where a garden was
and I'm glad you got away
but I'm still stuck out here
my clothes are soaking wet
from your brother's tears
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for
