Night Birds

We are night birds
on a prairie wind
and the dark air is cold
and leaves me thin.

There’s a lake
shaped like a winter country
and it’s five months
since the sunset.

Brother don’t you know that the water is white?
Brother can’t you see that the water is white?

There are flowers
on the water
and they’re drowning
slow slow slow.

And its five months
from then
until this snow.

There are flowers
swimming in summer
and her blue eyes
drank me in.

Well I’ve been running in fields
and I’ve been hiding in caves
Lord from your voice.

Brother don’t you know that the water is white?
Brother can’t you see that the water is white?

So we are night birds
on a prairie wind
and the dark air is cold
and it’s left me thin.

Well I thought she knew,
oh I thought she could prove
that you were there.
