Jump Little Children - Pigeon

Lyrics:
The brackish roots of river pine
Anchored in my curving spine
Bend to the whims of wind's design
And I lay down at your side

Above the brine of reds in clay
A swollen angel oaks bouquet
In the red-winged blackbird's eyes of grey
A saltwater tear resides

But the sand and the earthen parapet
Silts into this rivulet
The bluffs and the banks will soon forget
A single tear was cried

And in this spawning ground it blooms
The nectar and the petal plumes
A purple swallow now exhumed
From the river that has died

Palmately spread delphinium
Bachelor-buttoned malva comes
To be your lilied bride

The crimson of rinoculous
Gardenia and dianthus
The bloodless ivory water-lotus
Sweetly opens wide

But even the most fondly named
Rooted and green leaves framed
Surely must come to be reclaimed
Beyond the great divide

Without a voice left to sing
With waterlogged and heavy wing
With peaceful eyes unsuffering
A pigeon floats in the tide

  • Their ballads are very well crafted. I would like them to do more slow tempo songs.

  • I know this song is old, but it's definatley my fav song of the moment! No one makes music like this anymore :\

  • How come no one writes lyrics like these anymore?

  • Great song!!! I probably only understand 7 words in the whole song but it's still great.

  • Damn, I miss these guys.

  • @MegaAngelknight i definitely meant to give that a thumbs up! i heard a couple years ago jump was going to do a reunion show in 2010. I miss going to shows and being an opiate! =)

  • Dock Street theater is back! It is time we got JLC into doing a reunion show...contact any band member you have access too (DO NOT HARASS THEM) and tell them how much they are missed and that you would see them live again or buy a new album!

  • tears coat my cheaks from the beauty

  • Hauntingly beautiful.

    The vocalist here reminds me a lot of Jeff Buckley.

  • They broke up a few years ago...
