Love is an Unraveling Bird's Nest

Let it rain, my house won’t collapse
Let the wind blow just as hard as it likes
We’ll hunker down and watch between the boughs
Bend and sway with the storm
And in the morning we’ll see the sun

In the winter we’ll all be gone
I’ll fix the broken door when we come home
Gather up all the unraveled parts
Put them right again and sweep away the leaves
And all of the dying snow
And all of the dying snow

Love’s an unraveling bird’s nest
Falling to straw upon the ground
And carried by the wind until
It’s scattered all around
Now you might never notice it
But when it’s forever gone
Love’s an unraveling bird’s nest
Falling to straw upon the ground

When the fires come we’ll surrender and move on
We’ll gather our branches in another town
Find our place in the highest part
To our new neighbors we’ll nod and shake
Borrow and share and give away
It’ll all come back to us one day
It’ll all come back to us one day

If the seasons come to an end
Can you even imagine that?
When the wheel won’t turn again
That’s when we’ll be still
That’s when we’ll be still

Our love is a bird nest on the ground
Unraveling and soaking wet and stepped on
We’ll put it in a high tree that sways
And all the broken parts will be replaced
So we can look through the boughs for all our days
And watch the wheel turn
And watch the wheel turn
