lyrics

Still a life well lived
Don't understand it
Water wrinkled skin
Tallying the fall of every sparrow
Teeth for toothy grins

Wind the wire
Tend the city's bees
Sweep the skin scraped from
Your hobbled knees

Stole the window sill
Don't understand it
Sun bleached teeth
Tallying the fall of every sparrow
Wells for wired wreaths

Barbed and broken
Ash and glass and string
Bind the water
With the house's wings

Oh, it's all I know
Don't understand it
Wind swept breast
Tallying the fall of every sparrow
Sleep for stolen rest

Wells of water
Framed in birch and briar
Sparrows wanting
Fell from hobbled wire
