lyrics

Broken wings and an audible heartbeat
Weak but living, I plucked you from the street

Cradled hands, safe and steady stepping
Focused on forgetting all I know of death

Cotton ears, still hear the doorbell tolling
Still see our plaster molding, feel the carpet ‘neath my knees

I won’t let you die in this living room
I won’t let you die in this living room
I’ll fashion you a home
A shoebox of your own
Wish I weren’t home alone

I am young but I feel it coming
The low and distant drumming, marching on my chest

I won’t let you die in this living room
I won’t let you die in this living room
I’m keeping you alive
Though you may never fly
No, you’ll never fly again
