Brownbirds Lyrics

A brick wall painted pink and blue all built around my chest

A hand that's sweating from the cold now placed upon your breast

A jewelry box of memories I keep underneath my clothes

It's bursting at the seams with memories that we both hold

So tell me what you thought we had and I'll tell you the same

With those words, we'll both have our own bags that we can take on our own ways

A love with lost connection that we knew could never last

Seeking out that pleasure that was only in the past

The brown birds have stopped singing and the lights have all gone out

We're dancing in a dark room speaking I don't know what about

The fireplace has been unplugged as light pours through the roof

And we both knew this was coming so did everyone we knew

So tell me on your travels did you ever speak of me

To those gambling with their souls and the broken heart ladies

I'll remember you as I ramble on my own

Whispering your name to the places where the paper flowers now won't grow

A piece of you was stuck in me and leaking down my side

Staining my skin with all the tears that you once cried

We can sit in circles passing back and forth the blame

Or say it feels good to throw our valentines into the flames

But I got lost in sorrow and my love just slipped away

I wish that I could reel it back but the knot had become frayed

So tell me on your travels did you ever speak of me

To those gambling with their souls and the broken heart ladies

I'll remember you as I ramble on my own

Whispering your name to the places where the paper flowers now won't grow

So tell me on your travels did you ever speak of me

To those gambling with their souls and the broken heart ladies

I'll remember you as I ramble on my own

Whispering your name to the places where the paper flowers now won't grow
