First-time Mother's Joy (flying) Lyrics - Mercury Rev

Everywhere you turn you are 

Surrounded by the sound of winter's song 

Everything is frozen and, only the swans 

Have chosen to be strong 

The skies are all a big commotion 

Somewhere the birds are all in motion 

(Yearning to be back) 

And home where they belong 

An the love you once thought 

Long faded out of view 

Was there all along 

And right in front of you 

And look at you now 

You're flying too 

You're flying too 

Soon the dormant patient roots 

Will show themselves as childish shoots 

(Watered by the tears) 

Of a first-time mother's joy 

Little streams of consciousness 

They tumble over rocks they kiss 

(Unafraid of who they are) 

Of what will happen next 

And the love you once thought 

(You once thought) 

Long faded out of view 

Was there all along 

(All along) 

And in ways you never knew 

And the birds you once thought 

(You once thought) 

Long gone ahead of you you 

They were there all along 

And right in front of you 

An look at you now 

You're flying too
