Feathers

History's made its mark in anger As everybody knows it's what we do; it's nothing new. The next chords struck are Fault and Failure And we both know the finger points on cue There's blame for two Do you really want him calling Newo? Do you really think he's coming back to you? Oh, once the world stops spinning, read that writing on the wall. Is there another, Newo? Is there cushion just enough to break my fall? Oh, don't you cry Just lie there baby in the past 'Cause if you want it all right now Hide your feathers on the back porch, baby He's coming home for... you've... been... such... a liar Hide your feathers, little back porch lady You're too old... enough to cry your sorry eyes out over the world Hear me scream outside your window I'm only here to make my peace with you... there's something new It was our time, that day in our lives If I could do things different, what would I choose? Oh, don't you cry, Mama Please don't cry, Mama Oh, don't you cry, no, no Hide your feathers on the back porch, baby He's coming home for... you've... been... such... a liar Hide your feathers, little back porch lady You're too old... enough to cry your sorry eyes out... No other, could wait for a lover To embrace, boy, when there's no more room for love, You'll sell her off to the sharks. Hide your feathers on the back porch, baby He's coming home for... you've... been... such... a liar Hide your feathers, little back porch lady You're too old... enough to cry your sorry eyes out over the world Wait a minute, little back porch lady Wait a minute, little back porch lady, I'm in love Wait a minute, little back porch lady Oh, don't you cry, Mama Oh, don't you cry, no, no
