Meadowlark Blues

(album: Crushed Pennies - 2013)

Take a walk on my coastline sweetly
And see that I got broken parts
They're feeding baby sharks
It's a jagged coastline surely
At my peak
All my broken parts
They're feeding baby sharks
Though I don't dwell in dark
I'm just a meadowlark
I sing my sadness in broke poetry
And I'm gone in a blur of violence and wings

Take a walk in my prairie kindly
And see that I got broken parts
They're building matchstick barns
It's a wild prairie baby
At my feet
All my broken parts
They're building matchstick barns
Though no brush fire starts
I'm just a meadowlark
I sing my sadness to bumblebees
And I'm gone in a blur of diamonds and wings

Take a walk in my city darling
And see that I got broken parts
They're feeding empty hearts
It's a dirty city baby
On my street
All my broken parts
They're feeding empty hearts
I wish I could get smart
I'm just a meadowlark
I sing my sadness and go to sleep
And I'm gone in a blur of eyelids and wings
