Noe Venable Timebird Lyrics

Timebird Lyrics

A kid I know got frozen 

Making angels in the snow

They pulled her out and burried her

As if she'd died in prayer

The funeral was fitting

There was nobody there

Now if teacher's burned your walking shoes

Then barefoot you must go



Oh when the timebird's landed

When the timebird comes

Baby put away your sorrows

Put away your sums

They will just be white lies

Out where the timebird flies



If I could only whisper

I would pinch my voice and sing

Just to blow it like a kettle 

As it slowly burns to clay

I dreamed a black-eyed dog who tried

To eat my heart away

Now the window softly shimmers

At the rattlin' of a wing



Oh when the timebird's landed

When the timebird's here

Baby put away your angry eyes

Sistern every tear

They will just be fireflies

Out where the timebird flies



There may only be seconds

I'm counting back from ten

So call old mister taxidy

To make of me a cast

And keep it out of the light of the sun

To be sure that it will last

And you can do with it just as you wish

It will not fit again



Oh when the timebird's landed

When the timebird's here

Baby put away your angry eyes

Put away your fear

There will be a sunrise

Out in timebird skies
