Lyrics

Enlightening As A Feather

So fly away now Mr. bluebird, fly away now Mrs. black.
So fly away now all of you birds, Nev’ to ever come back.

‘Cause it’s been a long day for the children,
It’s been a longer day for the truth.
It’s been a long day in this building,
Such a long rainy day with no roof.

‘Cause the west it sees no deeper than an ego’s self deceptions.
Some stay afloat on image rafts, and some drown in the illusions.

So fly away now now now Mr. bluebird, fly away now Mrs. black.
So fly away now now now all of you birds, Nev’ to ever come back.
So fly away now now now all of you birds, Nev’ to ever come back.

Oh so I emptied out my cup of all those things I thought to be,
And I realized full cups fit no more of fleeting life’s infinity.
And now I have a filling time, not busy filling all the time.

There’s clean cups by the kitchen sink,
So come and join me humble friends.
There’s more than you and I could think,
Oh that we’ll see before the end.
With empty ears you can hear it clear,
I say the truth speaks silently.

So you can stay now, Mr. bluebird, you can stay now Mrs. Black.
So you can stay now all of you birds, my jealousy ain’t nev’ to come back.
So you can stay now all of you birds, my jealousy ain’t nev’ to ev’ ever come back.
