black feathers - ed harcourt lyrics
[verse 1]
sky full of black feathers when you’re dead
jesus got a horse’s head in his bed
this ship’s been swallowed by the whale
this snake’s been eating his own tail
[chorus]
i see doubt in your eyes
you want to be back in the womb
poor mama’s boy there just ain’t no room
[verse 2]
sky full of black feathers when you’re gone
no flowers grow where the sun once shone
father’s warm hand won’t help you now
the cradle breaks even the largest bough
[chorus]
i see fear in your eyes
and you can’t sleep in the dark
you only hear the raven and the lark
[bridge]
locked inside, locked inside
locked inside, locked inside
locked inside, locked inside
i swallowed my own key again
locked inside, locked inside
locked inside, locked inside
locked inside, locked inside
i’ll never be so free again
[verse 3]
sky full of black feathers, wind, and dirt
chastise yourself but it don’t hurt
you feel guilty that you can’t smile
return the man back to the child
[chorus]
i see nothing in your eyes
yes it faded long ago
oh why and when, well no one knows
[outro]
oh why and when, well no one knows
oh why and when, well no one knows
