Feathers

I wasn't aware of the dark

'Till the morning came through

I'd never longed for a lie

'Till stuck with the truth

These wings will melt

Everyone will tell



I paid little mind to the fire

'Till the blanket was pulled

I sent what we were through a wire

With words like dull tools

It's the worst I have told

But it's the best I can hold



And I won't fly like a feather

To the opposite side

I won't fly like a feather

To the opposite side



All of the trees wave goodbye

Stars are something to do

No road was paved

For the likes of me and you

So we'll float on

'Till the wind gets too strong



And I won't fly like a feather

To the opposite side

I won't fly like a feather

To the opposite side

I won't fly like a feather

To the opposite side

I won't fly like a feather

To the opposite side

At least not this time

At least not this time



These wings, they won't melt

It's all I can tell
