Ane Brun - Such A Common Bird lyrics

I am a lone wolf

a beauty and a beast

both hunter and hunted

soft tongue and sharp teeth

I'm toned from my travels

yet raw from this road

as I drink from storm puddles

and the stories I'm told

Help me figure this out

help me figure you in

you're a shadow to me

that I echo when I sing

Help me figure this out

help me figure you in

To this simple little melody

I have seen angels

they were sleeping in gutters

they were standing in bank lines

they were jumping from towers

they were calling like seagulls

but nobody heard

such a beautiful message

from such a common bird

We want freedom for ourselves

but we can't give it to each other

We want peace between nations

yet we battle with our lovers

we're blinded by billboards

and trying to get ahead

choking on ambition

and the words left unsaid

I am a lone wolf

a beauty and a beast

both hunter and hunted

soft tongue and sharp teeth

I'm toned from my travels

yet raw from this road

as I drink from storm puddles

and the stories I'm told

Help me figure this out

help me figure you in

you're a shadow to me

that I echo when I sing

help me figure this out

help me figure you in
