Noah Zacharin - Red Red Bird

Red Red Bird

oh my darling sometimes you feel so far away
I got the stumble of an infant the embrace of a man of clay
you work to find sweet water a place where you can pray
oh my darling sometimes you feel so far away

but my heart is a red red bird
soars above the dust and dirt
sings a song you never heard
my heart is a red red bird

nothing we can count on to face the rising flood
best we get might be to hold each other slip together in the mud
oh taste the racing water feel the cooling of the blood
nothing we can count on to face the rising flood

but my heart…

nothing in the word can put the leaf back on the tree
or colour the ghostly outline of those who hover just out of reach
oh teach me how to find that better hour that you see
nothing in the word can put the leaf back on the tree

but my heart…
