The Weepies - Little Bird

Sometimes it's hard to say even one thing true
When all eyes have turned aside
They used to talk to you
And people on the street seem to disapprove
So you keep moving away
And forget what you wanted to say

Little bird, little bird
Brush your grey wings on my head
Say what you said, say it again
They tell me I'm crazy
But you told me I'm golden

Sometimes it's hard to tell the truth from a lie
Nobody knows what's in the hold of your mind
We are all buildings and people inside
Never know who'll walk through the door
Is it someone that you've met before?

Little bird, little bird
Brush your grey wings on my head
Say what you said, say it again
They tell me I'm crazy
But you told me I'm golden

I know what I know
A wind in the trees
And a road that goes winding under
From here I see rain, I hear thunder
Somewhere there's sun, and you don't need a reason

Sometimes it's hard to find a way to keep on
Quiet weekends, holidays, you come undone
Open your window and look upon
All the kinds of alive you can be
Be still, be light, believe me

Little bird, little bird
Brush your grey wings on my head
Say what you said, say it again
They tell me I'm crazy
But you told me I'm golden

How I wish that this were the official video to the song. Job well done :D It would be great to see an interpretation like this of Neko Case's Dirty Knife.

[DaddysTaz]

this song is addicting--listen to it once and then you have to listen to it again--simple and hypnotic--I love it

My life was hidden, I could not escape and this made me happy. A little tune for a dying soul. ill see through dark and find my bowl of dreams. =)
