Tanya Donelly - Littlewing lyrics

The first time lightning hit me

Was the night I met your daddy

It flew down the dance tent pol

Threw me to the red dirt floor

And as I reached to him

For the very first time

Tiny fire flew from his hand to mine

Fixed me to the spot

Feu de grace

I want to tell you everything

I want to spare you everything

Littlewing

The second time it hit me

I was holding you

In the dead of night

In the dead of night it lit your eyes

It lit your eyes and stopped your cries

It stopped your cries and

Flowed through the bed

It flowed through the bed and

Fixed you to my breast

Fixed you to the spot

Feu de grace

So I gave you a name that sounds

Like far away

In hopes that you'll run

From this place someday

As soon as your feet

Can carry your weight

Run from your people

Littlewing fly

We pull the fire from the sky

I want to tell you everything

I want to spare you everything

Littlewing

I'd give up everyone

I'd give up every one of my days

To spare you one moment's pain
