Pigeon Song Lyrics - Patrick Wolf

London, did you have to 

take my child away? 

you buried him under 

rent and low pay. 

I've been cyling in circles 

round your empty streets. 

i've been searching 

in the pouring rain. 

I've been going alone 

to the cinema 

I've been stealing all my food 

from the electric avenue 

now the pigeons gather 

round my feeding hand. 

and we talk til the evening fades. 

I have learnt how it goes 

what you wait for never shows 

and what you least wanted 

holds you down like a stone. 

just like a stone. 

Now i feed the birds. 

day after day. 

only they can hear me pray for 

a lighter heart. a lighter load 

to be moving. moving. moving 

my way home
