about

I started writing this song in the fall of 2017 and look how long it's taken me to finish it!

lyrics

What is a baby but a big white bird?
Ugly duckling in a cradle
I was never meant to be a child
Let me hold you closer than I’m able

Saw you at my window
And I took you in
Traded all my options for you, baby,
For this bitterness
I’ve asked you politely, But I’m done making nice
you can’t call me foolish for putting out fires

I am not your mother
I can’t give you what you’re after
Red mouth, red throat, hungry for anything
Jackdaw, albatross, call you what you are–
Crow killer!

I was only sixteen
When I wanted you
Thought you’d have had your fun by now
But I’m nearly twenty-two
I get teary eyed if I talk about you for too long
In my interior, there must be something still weighing me down

I am not your mother
I can’t give you what you’re after
Red mouth, red throat, you’ll say almost anything
Crow killer!

What is a baby but a big white bird?
Ugly duckling in a cradle
I was never meant to be a child
Let me hold you
Let me hold you
