Ryan Adams Nightbirds Lyrics

Nightbirds Lyrics



Out under the stars

Dodging them night cars baby

Cause when you gotta move, you gotta move

Whatever that it was

You were thinking of lady

You're certainly not thinking

Of it now,



And nightbirds sing you

And empty tune

In an empty house

In an empty room

In an empty moment

All the nightbirds sing

We were suppose to rise above

But we sink



I feel like a body stuffed into a trunk

From a million years

Of lying and getting drunk



The people here inside me

They are loud and in the night

They scream and smash the windows

And they fight



And nightbirds sing you

And empty tune

In an empty house

In an empty room

With an empty feelings

When it comes too soon

Were supposed to rise above

But we sink
