Generate meaning
1
When the evening like a sparrow
2
Folds down it's small wings
3
All the light bones and the feathers of the day
4
It is then in that moment
5
Stop the rushing and just hold me
6
Lay your hands where it hurts
7
And we'll leave it that way
8
I have often dreamt of angels
9
But I very rarely see them
10
But I know that they've been here
11
Because something smells like sky
12
In the rustle of their presence
13
It sounds a lot like your breathing
14
Sounds a lot like a promise
15
But I can't say why
16
Bridge: I have searched all the wise and the unwise places
17
I have known the price of passion
18
And what solitude can buy
19
But it was you I was looking for in all those faces
20
Always you I was hoping for
21
When I closed my eyes
22
I will gather all the feathers
23
That collect up in the corners
24
All the rising and the fallings
25
In the quiet of the day
26
When you speak there's a flutter
27
Of some winged thing stirring
28
Lay your head on my heart
29
And we'll leave it that way
