Mercury Rev First-time Mother's Joy (flying) Lyrics

Everywhere you turn you are
Surrounded by the sound of winter's song
Everything is frozen and, only the swans
Have chosen to be strong

The skies are all a big commotion
Somewhere the birds are all in motion
(Yearning to be back)
And home where they belong

An the love you once thought
Long faded out of view
Was there all along
And right in front of you

And look at you now
You're flying too
You're flying too

Soon the dormant patient roots
Will show themselves as childish shoots (Watered by the tears)
Of a first-time mother's joy

Little streams of consciousness
They tumble over rocks they kiss
(Unafraid of who they are)
Of what will happen next

And the love you once thought
(You once thought)
Long faded out of view
Was there all along
(All along)
And in ways you never knew

And the birds you once thought
(You once thought)
Long gone ahead of you you
They were there all along
And right in front of you

An look at you now
You're flying too
