Simon Joyner - Came A Yellow Bird lyrics

Came a yellow bird outside my window Said bring me water and crusts of bread Came a yellow bird outside my window Said bring me water and crusts of break For I'm injured and I'm haunted By the storms in which I fled I tried to fly to New Orleans But I got lost in heavy rains I tried to fly to New Orleans But I got lost in heavy rains I got many holes in my two wings From arrows that you aimed It wasn't I wounded you I didn't any arrows I could shoot It wasn't I wounded you, any arrows I could shoot I'm just a lonely man, I never left this room Besides that I, how on earth could I Hurt anything so frail as thee Besides that I, how on earth could I Hurt anything so frail as thee When we've never met before this moment When you called for help from me Now yellow bird step down into my room And she chose her words carefully Yellow bird stepped down into my room She chose her words carefully She said you were aiming for the sun And I was just in-between And every time you wish to die An arrow was released Every time you wish to die An arrow was released And the only thing between dark and light Was my breast or yellow wings Well this can't be true I shook with fear Though I knew she didn't lie This can't be true I shook with fear Though I knew she couldn't lie I never wanted to harm anybody else It's just I who wish to die And then the tears came rolling down And the floor fell underneath And then the tears came rolling down And the floor fell underneath And the yellow bird folded her wings together And I dragged her down with me
