lyrics

She's fragile now,
Her wings are beginning to fail her now,
Her nest throws her restlessly through the clouds,
And sounds of her former life sing.

I'm on the ground,
The sun's in my eyes and my wings are bound,
I'm covered in dirt and can hear no sound,
And no-one can save her but me.

In the fall,
There's no direction to follow but down,
The tree that you cling to is hollow now,
Who's gonna be there for you?

I tie her tongue,
For words that might reach her and do her wrong,
borrowed from criminals on the run,
Memories of younger times sting, I know.

I'll hold you heart,
In cotton and colour to mend the shards,
The fragments that fluttered and cut me up,
If you let me carry you home.

If we shake,
Our inclination to follow pain,
Will we wake up and smell the champagne,
Wake up, wake up...

She's got marbles in her mind,
They're colliding one at a time,
She's got marbles in her mind,
And they're shining...
