Iron And Wine Bird Stealing Bread Lyrics

Bird Stealing Bread Lyrics

Tell me baby tell me

Are you still on the stoop

Watching the windows
close

I've not seen seen you lately

On the street, by the beach

Or places we used to go



I've a picture of you

On our
favorite day by the seaside

There's a bird stealing bread

That I
brought out from under my nose



Tell me baby tell me

Does his
company make 

Light of a rainy day

How I've missed you lately

And the way we would speak 

And all that we wouldn't say



Do his hands in your hair

Feel a lot like a thing you believe in

Or a bit like a bird stealing bread

Out from under your nose



Tell me baby tell me

Do you carry the words

Around like a key or
change

I've been thinking lately

of a night on the stoop

and
all that we wouldn't say



If I see you again

On the street,
by the beach

In the evening

Will you fly like a bird stealing
bread

Out from under my nose
