lyrics

I had no reason to cry
although I felt as though I might
when a murder-blotted sky
called a million crows to flight
I was thrown from a pitching ship

When I remember birdland
the sky comes crashing in again
When I remember birdland
the clouds come tumbling down again

Shed your feathers and go

Count your counterweights
stand them up stiff and straight
Come together and go
Come together and go
This thick, cumbersome weight’s
just a trick of the brain
