about

(Snyder/Savarino)

lyrics

We’re okay in the night
With clear strength in our blood
Headstrong

You kneel above me as if in a nest
I pray to you in song
Singing along

You watch over me
Sweet sick bird
I’m cracked through this shell
I let the egg run through your fingers
Through your hair

The others melt away
People fall away and leave
Leaving you and me in the room
Me in the wooden nest you protect
