lyrics

Seagull, seagull
I’m falling down
Into my maker’s arms
If you drop like a weight
The wind won’t change
For a man on a rope
And a man can choke

Starling, I sing
To break you in
To mother nature’s call
When the water’s high
I’ll sink and die
Like a fading light
But the moon’s still bright

I’ve seen a crow like this
On a crucifix
To carry your cloud away.
If you drop your head
You'll lose your breath
In a puff of smoke
My asthmatic throat
A man’s on a rope
And a man can choke
