lyrics

Bird Heaven

©Nick Craine

I remember what it was like
The cool December night was crawling over those hills
We were dancing under a full moon
Your Papa left the house and you left with him

So you took your dress and your pretty things
You took your heart 400 miles away from me
Yeah I can take it, I'm sure it won't be the last
I got lots of friends here now to keep me hangin' on

So take a ride now baby. I don't need no one to fake my way
Just give me one thing girl before you hook your trailer down
Where do those birds go when they die

Yeah tomorrow is another day, another day in the trailer park
The leaves are turning again and the winter starts
So you're leaving down to Peterborough to stay
Your Papa's got some work down there, gonna pull you through

We were standing in an empty parking lot,
holding hands by the crosswalk sign
Yeah down by that street lamp, a little dead birdy lay
We put him in a shoebox under a pile of leaves.
