Bowerbirds - House Of Diamonds Lyrics
One morning you wake to find
You are shackled to your bed
And bound and gagged
Oh my, what a predicament
And further, further on
The day grows long
And your sister marries a nice young man
And they build a house of diamonds...
Bowerbirds - Silver Clouds Lyrics
Put my dreams in my hand so I know I'm sure
Give me all that I want from this giant world
But you can't seem to not
Tally it up so we know the score
Show me how I'm a man, show me the light
Show me the wings of t...
Bowerbirds - Sweet Moment Lyrics
I'm the red bird
You're the brown bird
In the brambles
Behind the house
And we both know
What the wind does
And I can't make peace just yet
So this is my branch
My darling
Today I feel the weight
And we...
Bowerbirds - This Day Lyrics
This day is no special day
This day will see no placards given
This day will see no dismembered limbs
Yet there buzzes about a distant chainsaw
Whose sound comes in and out on the timid wind
This day is a slow gesture
This...
Bowerbirds - Tuck The Darkness In Lyrics
Well, the light was rust, and the cold was in our knees
And our breath poured out over golden fields
Though I could not know then, we'd have but few times like these
With all the good smoke in between
Tucked the darkness in,...
Bowerbirds - Death Wish Lyrics
Now I know you like I know myself
I still don't know much else
You race toward the future
I'm slow as a kettle
And we waltz on a tilted world
Torn socks and all those frills
Your gait like a mare's is
And mine l...
Bowerbirds - Overcome With Light Lyrics
And how
I know I'm happy now
I jump right down
The shoots of time
And yes, the weather
Was not always grey
But the furrow
Always grazed my brow
Mmmmm Mmmmm
Mmmmm Mmmmm
Mmmmm Mmmmm
Now I'm overcome with ...
Bowerbirds - Human Hands Lyrics
When I wake, I wake by the brook
To an untamed thunder
And the northern flicker flash about
As the soup in the sky grows thicker
But I tip my cap and curtsy, and I take no offense
Because there is no hate in your darkest cloud, no...
Bowerbirds - Walk The Furrows Lyrics
Where's that horse you rode in on?
Where's that fair-faced young man?
You carried their dead weight and let it fall by the wayside
And buried those years one dark evening
Now in a land without leaders
I listen close t...
Bowerbirds - Beneath Your Tree Lyrics
I could bleed, bleed, bleed for days
But my heart would still beat for you, dear
Yet we carry on like a storm
Like we've no idea where we're coming from
But the rain will subside by the morning
I could drag my weig...
Bowerbirds - Matchstick Maker Lyrics
Dredge the Cedar River
For a previous life
Or scour the cliffs above
In search of lost time
And you'll never find the body
As the Palisades crumble slowly
And claim the past as their own
Branded skin, broken vessel
...
Bowerbirds - Stitch The Hem Lyrics
All the while
The sea oats bowed
Against the dunes
Your arms stretched out
And how the shadows glide
The story hastens by
We hold on tight
The drafty night lets the quiet in
And our breath in the same motion, ooh
There&...
Bowerbirds - Now We Hurry On Lyrics
No, you're not alone
The sun pours in slow
The hinges creek
Now the sparrows know
And flash their wings
These mornings
These mornings
No, you're not alone
The valley's flushed and warm
And breathes a l...
Bowerbirds - Crooked Lust Lyrics
I was born a ghost
An apparition
Filled with holes and contradiction
And I fear I'm the only one
So I wake early
Watch the leaves quake
And the first light braze the trees
I hide myself in a secret place
Here I kn...
Bowerbirds - Dark Horse Lyrics
On the shore of the lake
In the great upstate of New York
Came the call of a loon
Cold, cold, o'er a plume of smoke
He spoke to my center
He spoke of the future
He sang, "You, my friend, are alone, alone."
We...
Bowerbirds - Bright Future Lyrics
Bright future, bright pink
Bright light in my eyes, oh, this desert's a tease
Giant heart, down in this dust
Fell to the earth at a fascinating speed
Well, further up in the ponderosa
The nervous coyotes caterwauling, thei...
Bowerbirds - The Marbled Godwit Lyrics
Great white puffs of lumbering buffalo
Blanket the fishbowl sky, and I am tired
I sip my tea and sniff the ocean
Not but an hour from now, I will be home
Swing me low, mark me a coward
The whims of the West must die
Here is the ...
Bowerbirds - Teeth Lyrics
Only through the teeth of life
I see my ancient figure
My hands are strong
My eyes are endless
Oh, and my mind is the open ocean
That swells and broils with wild invention
In my great sun
Without boundaries
My love...
Bowerbirds - Ghost Life Lyrics
At the margins of the land, I get to know your skin
Where the sand dunes slope into a wild ocean
Where a great plain heaps into a jagged mountain
Oh, I feel your heart swell with the ghost life here, so magnificent
And yet some d...
Bowerbirds - This Year Lyrics
Just come down from a high fever
From out there in the yard
While the pyre is burning,
It's hard to feel the weather shift
Or the fear of the dark
This year we need a deeper frost
Me and my meadowlark
Under the winter&...
