Jim Cork Burning

Bird Man

Dreamers of the golden dream
Sailing on forbidden seas
Words are so uninteresting
Don’t kiss me; it will trigger things

The conversations we replay
To catch the hints in what we say
The houses we find ourselves in
The games that end when we begin to live

I swear I’m getting out of here
Oh someone drag me out of here

Servant to the matriarch
Sleeping in a burning car
Lovers of the lovable
Respond to the incredible

Blood is thick with medicine
And I am chasing smoke again
Humming some new mystery
Alive inside the history of us

I swear I’m getting out of here
Oh someone drag me out of here

Create in me a grateful heart
Forge it out of twine and tar
Take the dark unusable
And make it something beautiful

And make me something beautiful
And make me something beautiful
And make me something beautiful
And make me something beautiful

A song by Derek Walker. Listen to it on Sky Fidelity.
