Nine Horses - The Darkest Birds lyrics

Here come the darkest birds To burst the bubble End of a perfect day Head full of trouble Here come the darkest birds All tar and feathers Why did none of them dream of trying To make things better? Those are the mimicking kind They are, they are I number myself among them The furthest star And this is the road I walked on When I shot you down All words of forgiveness useless They won't help me now And I should've been there for you When you called my name I promise to tread more lightly Though what's gone is gone It's such a shame Here come the darkest birds They've got their reasons All their pretty colours are gone Washed out of season Those are the soaring kind They are, they are I number yourself among them The brightest star And this is the road I walked on When I shot you down All words of forgiveness useless They won't serve me now And I should've been there for you When you called my name I promise to tread more lightly Though what's done is done It's such a shame The Ban*lity Of Evil I've got me a badge A bright shiny badge I'm painting the crest in yellow and blue I've got me a club An exclusive club It doesn't include a place for you Hey Hey It's in the way that you walk All of the changes, all the mistakes In the demands you constantly make It's in the way that you grieve All of the loss You don't know when you're better off Or at what cost You've got it good
