Feathers Lyrics

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
