Flightless Bird

Flightless Bird - Iron And Wine - More amazing videos are a click away



I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth
Big pill stuck going down


( I wish the lyrics can be as good as the melody but sometimes you cant have it all... I just love the music... It strucks me deep down... It sounds so 60's or 70's and so pleasant and soothing. So if you cant figure out the imagery of the lyrics, just forget about it and enjoy the melody instead... Listen not to the words and maybe its connotative meaning but rather listen to the melody, the tune, the sound or accompaniment. In short just listen to the music and never mind lyrics)
