I fell in love with a starling He died in my mother's arms (He) was buried and exhumed And now all I think of is (his) wings Beating down hallways And elfin eyes flashing Round my room.
I caught (a) fly between my fingers -- and a thumb I looked in his thousandth eye And I saw freedom So I told him how I loved your bones When we pulled them one by one Out of the stone.
I heard you singing With tiny lungs Of millions counted, one by one And I'd seen you grow massive My tiny one And I feel that you're yearning For the black sun Oh I feel that you're yearning For the black sun.
In a dream last night I spoke in tongues Calling out like I was idle A muster A murder A murmur A muster A murder A murmur A crow A stork A starling
Great clouds of them filled the skies They fell thru roofs, and into pies La da da da La da da da La da da da da da La da da
So I told him how I loved your bones When we pulled them one by one Out of the stone.
