Rookery |
| Birch tree lost its branch one day in violent winter |
| I said it was grieving, you said it don’t feel nothing |
| I bet you think everything’s in its rightful place |
| That sentiment is man’s disgrace |
| Well the rooks in the trees, they don’t half bother me |
| Clawing at my mind with every given opportunity |
| It’s spring outside, a perilous sky and that terrible clattering sound |
| «Go ahead, you should go shoot them down» |
| That’s what you said, «You should go shoot them down» |
| So hey, that’s me |
| Shooting at a hundred-year-old rookery |
| Oh, look at me |
| The definition of futility |
| That’s what they’ll say anyway |
| Won’t they, babe? |
| So I’ll go back to working through the gentle hours of the evening |
| Where the weather and the wine and the company treat me easily |
| Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye |
| Unknowing am I of the wind |
| Unknowing am I of the wind that took my eye |
| Unknowing am I of the wind |
