[Verse 1] I walked the road when I realized my death The road had notes about my pitied little past I grabbed one note and put it in my pocket With your birds [Verse 2] I walked the road until I came close to your house Your house was floating on my water I asked one tree, one tree to take me in To your house [Chorus] And there I took all your birds And I smashed them in my pocket, oh And then I cut the feathers off And I made myself a beautiful dress [Verse 3] In your basement was a letter to myself You wrote it when we were married I took this note and put it in my mouth With your words [Chorus] And then I took all your words And I ate them by the fire, oh And then I tore the pages off And I made myself a beautiful dress [Bridge] I spoke your words out in your garden Where I built my new house near your flowers, trees, and bees I told our trees and bees to fly away With your words and your birds [Chorus] And then I took all your words And I ate them by the fire, oh And me and your smashed birds We danced the whole night And in the morning, I climbed your tree And flew away
