Little Bird - Michael Timmins

[00:16.70]Your heart sings like a kettle
[00:22.40]And your words they boil away like steam
[00:28.14]And a lie burns long while the truth bites quick
[00:34.37]A heart is built for both it seems
[00:40.13]You are lonely as a church
[00:44.71]Despite the queuing out your door
[00:51.52]I am empty as a promise no more
[01:05.98]When the time comes
[01:10.87]And rights have been read
[01:16.38]I think of you often
[01:20.38]But for once I meant what I said
[01:37.19]I was salted by your hunger
[01:43.08]Now you've gone and lost your appetite
[01:48.90]And a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight
[02:00.29]I am lonely as a memory
[02:05.96]Despite the gathering round the fire
[02:13.10]Aren't you every bird on every wire
[02:26.72]When the time comes
[02:31.28]And rights have been read
[02:36.80]I think of you often
[02:40.81]But for once I meant what I said
[02:46.97]Here I stay I lay me down
[02:53.88]In a house by the hill
[02:59.80]I'm dug from the rubble and cut from the kill
[03:10.26]Here I stay I lay me down
[03:16.82]In a house by the hill
[03:22.77]I'm dug from the rubble and cut from the kill
[03:33.74]I'm dug from the rubble and cut from the kill
[03:45.36]I'm dug from the rubble and cut from the kill
