Noe Venable Timebird Lyrics

A kid I know got frozen
Making angels in the snow
They pulled her out and burried her
As if she'd died in prayer
The funeral was fitting
There was nobody there
Now if teacher's burned your walking shoes
Then barefoot you must go

Oh when the timebird's landed
When the timebird comes
Baby put away your sorrows
Put away your sums
They will just be white lies
Out where the timebird flies

If I could only whisper
I would pinch my voice and sing
Just to blow it like a kettle
As it slowly burns to clay
I dreamed a black-eyed dog who tried
To eat my heart away
Now the window softly shimmers At the rattlin' of a wing

Oh when the timebird's landed
When the timebird's here
Baby put away your angry eyes
Sistern every tear
They will just be fireflies
Out where the timebird flies

There may only be seconds
I'm counting back from ten
So call old mister taxidy
To make of me a cast
And keep it out of the light of the sun
To be sure that it will last
And you can do with it just as you wish
It will not fit again

Oh when the timebird's landed
When the timebird's here
Baby put away your angry eyes
Put away your fear
There will be a sunrise
Out in timebird skies
