Myrrhine Lyrics by Tigers on Trains

Foundry

0

[Verse 1]
We were crawling through the underbrush
Out in South Dakota in the snow
We were searching for a place to hide
When you found a dying bird
And we named him after Jesus Christ
And we told him all the tallest tales
And we fed him seeds and flower stems
And resolved to keep him warm
And then he flew away with no regrets
And we watched him as he disappeared
And you sat and tried to sprout some wings
And ended up falling asleep
[Verse 2]
So we set ourselves to work again
Built a kitchen sink with our hands
And we filled it with the highest hopes
And the most unlikely plans
And we emptied out the dusty jars
And an aging pail of yellow paint
Turned the ashes of our loved ones into art before our eyes
And we carved the figures out of soap
Every detail was exactly right
And they were beautiful to me and you
But they couldn't speak a word
[Bridge]
You were scared that we wasted all that love
So was I
But it was more than we could ever get rid of
But you tried
[Verse 4]
We kept our word never turned back to see the graves
It was better that way couldn't tell the difference
We drew a bird on the wall named him after us
And he stayed by our side and never flew away
