Danny Michel - Feather, Fur & Fin lyrics

I went to the country to escape the noise and lights And I laid there in the pine cones all night I woke in the morning when all the trees were gone I got this sinking feeling, everything felt wrong Strip malls and dollar stores and diesel in the air I slept in a rowboat And I anchored far from shore Now I don't hear them chain saws no more I woke in the morning When someone pulled the plug I was stranded in the lake bottom sludge With all the tires, paint cans and things Every little critter, feather, fur and fin Cried to mother nature to come back for them For every piece of litter, for every little sin She cried for all of them, feather, fur and fin I went to an island down the Caribbean way And I laid there in the sand all day I turned on a radio and I heard the DJ say "Baton down the hatches down Santa Elena way" I swam the ocean reef but the coral all was grey Every little critter, feather, fur and fin Cried for mother nature to come back for them For every piece of litter, for every little sin She cried for all of them, feather, fur and fin She saw the eagle's eye weeping in the willow She prayed to the mantis and she cried into her pillow For the salmon in the Fraser and the salamander's kin She cried for all of them, feather, fur and fin I went to the city when all the trees were gone And I lay there on her asphalt lawn She cried out a thousand days of hurricanes and floods Her face ran with tears, and the streets ran with blood Fur coats and sushi boats and diesel in the air Every little critter, feather, fur and fin Cried for mother nature to come back for them For every piece of litter, for every little sin She cried for all of them, feather, fur and fin Feather, fur and fin, she cried for all of them She cried for every fin
