Great Lake Swimmers - A Bird Flew Inside the House lyrics

[Verse 1:] A bird flew inside the house To remind me of a promise that I made to myself To keep poison from the well, and serpents from the nest Everything's in danger, and heaven needs help Thoughts become concrete, and turn into needs Sad it won't last through the gathering speed The forest surrounds and it's soothing Take a deep breath and keep moving [Chorus:] I'm someone else's shoes And I hear the girl in the news But I have nothing to lose Everything's in danger, and heaven needs help [Verse 2:] Over the highways and in between aisles And into the words so deep Tough as a Winter freeze Light as maple leaves Where I will learn my keys [Chorus] [Chorus:] I'm someone else's shoes And I hear the girl in the news But I have nothing to lose Everything's in danger
