Mourning Dove

Bird on the wire

I can't sleep

on my feet.

Too many nights

scanning the scene

after scene.

Everything I said untrue

everything I couldn't do

for never telling you

I'm fucking weak.

Every time I made you cry

Every time I said goodbye

For saying that you and I

weren't meant to be.

And now it's like you

know so much more

for once, more than me.

Promise, I won't ever be able to sleep.

Bird on the wire

I can't think

I can't think

on my feet.

Too

Too many nights

scanning the scene

after scene.

I can't sleep

on my feet.

I'm always on my feet.

For everything I didn't say

Every time I'd go away

Til the day

Til the day

Til the day

For every time I made you cry

Every time you and I

Oh

Until the day

the day

the day

that you died.

You know now

how I'll spend my time.

Every night

on the wire.
