To Every Bird I've Said Hello To

from I Still Want To Live In A Treehouse by Jackson Fields

/

lyrics

To every bird I've said hello to
As I paced along the sidewalk
With my shoulders broad and gridlocked
From standing there alone
Building signposts for the neighbors
From their honeysuckle ceilings
Such safe and neutral feelings
Some settled in the bones

To every cardinal out my window
Still waiting for a tether
Some say others have it better
Whatever gets you there
Dropping feathers for the strangers
Glued like shadows to their footprints
As if your coat could go unnoticed
In this ashen open air

As if I'd write you off as just another
Mourning dove with faded colors
As if that dove had nothing on my jeans
Like I hope through every thin and narrow
Alleyway I'd find a sparrow
Lonely enough to sing a song for me

To every pigeon in the subway
Too drawn in by tornadoes
Of human flesh and shadows
To long to meet the sky
Every time the train car seizes
And lurches from the station
I close my eyes through the vibration
And dream that I could fly
