Flightless Bird, American Mouth Lyrics - The Shepherd's Dog - Iron & Wine

I was a quick, wet boy, diving too deep for coins 

All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys 

Then when the cops closed the fair 

I cut my long baby hair 

Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere 

Have I found you 

Flightless bird 

Jealous 

Weeping 

Or lost you 

American mouth 

Big pill looming

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now I'm a fat house cat 

Nursing my sore blunt tongue 

Watching the warm poison rats 

Curl through the wide fence cracks 

Pissing on magazine photos 

Those fishing lures thrown in the cold 

And clean blood of Christ mountain stream 

Have I found you 

Flightless bird 

Grounded 

Bleeding 

Or lost you 

American mouth 

Big pill stuck 

Going down
