The Seedling Lyrics - Bonnie Prince Billy

I go out back to look up at her 

Smiling unluckily at my red fur 

And into my own I meld my nose 

My full-sized child is fully unclothed 

Birdies say I got no children, birdies never know 

In my hidden life I've made a seedling grow 

When it is cold I shelter her in 

The wazimy warmth of the monkey skin 

And into my own I fold my head 

My full-sized child with full-sized spread 

Birdies say I got no children, birdies never know 

In my hidden life I've made a seedling grow 

Hawks and doves and power fists 

Black hand gripping our kid's wrists 

Lanterns and arrows and little monk fish 

They grant my every child wish 

And birdies say I got no children, birdies never know 

In my hidden life I've made a seedling grow 

Birdies say I got no children, birdies never know 

In my hidden life I've made a seedling grow 

(Birdies say I got no children, birdies never know) 

(In my hidden life I've made a seedling grow) 

(Birdies say I got no children, birdies never know) 

(In my hidden life I've made a seedling grow)
