lyrics

feathers of the redbird
so the story goes
a little one with hope
yeah, a little one with hope

where has the fence gone, you used to sit on
do you sense the ghost of the phantom wall?
redbird, redbird, mm
ain't no wood, 'n there ain't no saw

redbird on the wall
fire on them all
redbird

what brings you to this lonesome place
doesn't it break your heart?
don't it wet your face?
redbird, redbird, mm
ain't no fence worth leaning on

redbird on the wall
fire on them all
redbird

what cloud surrounds?
what snuffed your song?
what melody is swallowed, strangled and repudiated?
redbird, mmm
carry on, your song ain't gone

redbird, oh, remember
sister, burn redder!
redbird

redbird on the wall
fire on them all
redbird

feathers of the redbird
so that story goes
a little one with hope
yeah, a little one with hope
