Passenger Pigeons |
| Ever since you moved out |
| I’ve been living in the park |
| I’d rather talk to the wind |
| Than an empty apartment |
| And I wish I could forget |
| How a billion birds flew in |
| My hollow, dying heart |
| The first time I touched your arm |
| Once there were a billion passenger pigeons |
| So many flew by they darkened the sky |
| But they were clubbed and shot, netted, gassed and burned |
| Until there was nothing left but vines of empty nests |
| I can’t believe how easily |
| A billion birds can disappear |
| The park is empty now |
| It’s so cold out |
| And all the paddle boats |
| Are covered up with snow |
| Once again it’s dark |
| The electric lights snap on |
| But I’m still sitting here |
| Drinking frozen beer |
| And throwing potato chips |
| Into the white snowdrifts |
| Just in case a bird decides |
| To fly through hinter night |
| I can’t believe how easily |
| A billion birds can disappear |
| Oh, I can’t believe how easily |
| A billion birds can disappear |
