First Bird Song Lyrics
First Bird by Bill Callahan And we're coming out of dreams
As we're coming back to dreams
Yeah, we're coming out of dreams
As we're coming back to dreams
Dreams are thoughts in lotus and chains
Chains are broken in the morning by the first bird's first song
Singing sha-sha-shadow
Sha-sha-shadow's of dawm
Shadow of my boy coming down the hall
And little sister's hand is deep in his palm
And her feet don't ever touch the ground
Because everybody wants to carry her around
And we're coming out of dreams
And we're coming back to dreams
Yes, we're coming out of dreams
And we're coming back to dreams
And as the sun moves away
A boy's shadow grows tall, tall, tall
As we're coming back to dreams
And we're coming out of dreams
Yeah, we're coming out of dreams
And we're coming back to dreams
So long a sea waiting for the first bird
Come sing for me or you may be the last bird
So long a sea waiting for the first bird
Come sing for me or you may be the last bird
And we're coming out of dreams
And we're coming back to dreams
Yes, we're coming out of dreams
And we're coming back to dreams
