Nesting Behavior Lyrics by Mothers

When You Walk a Long Distance You Are Tired

2016

You've been giving me away to other men
To other men
Most things are born golden
Until they start to notice

Oh, I was on your side
I was on your side

I gathered twigs between your eyelids
Until they fell between your eyelashes
Wove my hair into the bare places
And nested down for the evening

Oh...

I preen my feathers
In the old milk that you shed for me
I wear this dress of indifference
And find it quite becoming

You say you need me now
Shut your dirty mouth
When I was only a child
I sold my name for a small price

Ohh...
Ohh...

You've been giving me away
You've been giving me away
You always made it easy
Reminding me not to bloom
Reminding me not to bloom
Reminding me not to bloom
