lyrics

Fast birds through the treeline
slow light through the pines
oh Queeny come on in
the water’s fine
the water’s fine
Soon we’ll fly away
this crown of sparrows
was never going to stay
Soon we’ll wake from dreaming
with every sweet thing
flown away
hey hon how late is it?
hey could it really be that they’re closing the bars?
but oh don’t it seem endless out here
& all ours,
all ours
Soon we’ll fly away
this crown of sparrows
was never going to stay
Soon we’ll wake from dreaming
with every sweet thing
flown away
Soon we’ll fly away
this crown of sparrows
was never going to stay

The new full-length solo release "Crown of Sparrows" comes out on LP & CD in April 2016 on Grand Jury Records.
