A kid I know got frozen Making angels in the snow They pulled her out and burried her As if she'd died in prayer The funeral was fitting There was nobody there Now if teacher's burned your walking shoes Then barefoot you must go Oh when the timebird's landed When the timebird comes Baby put away your sorrows Put away your sums They will just be white lies Out where the timebird flies If I could only whisper I would pinch my voice and sing Just to blow it like a kettle As it slowly burns to clay I dreamed a black-eyed dog who tried To eat my heart away Now the window softly shimmers At the rattlin' of a wing Oh when the timebird's landed When the timebird's here Baby put away your angry eyes Sistern every tear They will just be fireflies Out where the timebird flies There may only be seconds I'm counting back from ten So call old mister taxidy To make of me a cast And keep it out of the light of the sun To be sure that it will last And you can do with it just as you wish It will not fit again Oh when the timebird's landed When the timebird's here Baby put away your angry eyes Put away your fear There will be a sunrise Out in timebird skies
