Stork and Owl

Tv On The Radio


Faceless fall from this life and all 
If you can't see the star you've probably gone too far 
Like the voice that cries on the lonesome tide 
Like a whale was the only love it ever saw 

What's this dying for 
Asks the stork then saw 
With the owl high above 
Canyon's mighty walls 

Owl say death's a door 
That love walks through 
In and out, in and out 
Back and forth, back and forth 

Time forms the fear of the storms that might be 
Oh let it free of that cage on fire thing 
Oh hold its hands, It'll feel like lightning 
Oh in your arms, safe from the storms 

Sky bends, moon's dress slung low slung low 
Love star to the dance it goes goes goes goes goes goes goes 
Arms out knees bent emotion flows 
Like the song open petals of a death crows 

So serious 
So it falls upon 
It just reveals the perfect nothing 
Of everything we are, everything we are 

Candle of life lights the brights and bruises 
Oh lay it down in the night, let it sooth this 
Oh hold his hands, you will know what truth is 
Oh in its arms safe from the storms
