Smashed Birds

[Verse 1]
I walked the road when I realized my death
The road had notes about my pitied little past
I grabbed one note and put it in my pocket
With your birds

[Verse 2]
I walked the road until I came close to your house
Your house was floating on my water
I asked one tree, one tree to take me in
To your house

[Chorus]
And there I took all your birds
And I smashed them in my pocket, oh
And then I cut the feathers off
And I made myself a beautiful dress

[Verse 3]
In your basement was a letter to myself
You wrote it when we were married
I took this note and put it in my mouth
With your words

[Chorus]
And then I took all your words
And I ate them by the fire, oh
And then I tore the pages off
And I made myself a beautiful dress

[Bridge]
I spoke your words out in your garden
Where I built my new house near your flowers, trees, and bees
I told our trees and bees to fly away
With your words and your birds

[Chorus]
And then I took all your words
And I ate them by the fire, oh
And me and your smashed birds
We danced the whole night
And in the morning, I climbed your tree
And flew away
