Blood Red Bird

F#m G#m C#m I was not woken by the rooster F#m G#m C#m Nor by the crows's tough song F#m G#m C#m But the midnight cry of a blood red bird F#m G#m C#m Brought this sleeplessness on F#m G#m C#m Threw open the window moonlight on a black garden of thorns F#m G#m C#m And the cool wind on my sweat F#m G#m C#m What cries home where cries from F#m G#m C#m A blood red bird lies in the woods F#m G#m C#m Weeping into dead leaves F#m G#m C#m With wing torn and jutting bone F#m G#m C#m What hand bent it to bust to be useless F#m G#m C#m What hand that could've with two fingers F#m G#m C#m A blood red bird, a blood red bird F#m G#m C#m A blood red bird, a blood red bird F#m G#m C#m We can continually sink into each other F#m G#m C#m Just deep enough to rip out a bit more flesh when we move away F#m G#m C#m A scarf of skin trailing out behind F#m G#m C#m Like an arrow I was only passing through F#m G#m C#m A blood red bird, a blood red bird F#m G#m C#m A blood red bird, a blood red bird F#m G#m C#m A blood red bird, a blood red bird F#m G#m C#m A blood red bird, a blood red bird F#m G#m C#m 4x
