lyrics

My heart falls with you
As you make your daredevil drop
From nest to ground.
It all happens too fast to calculate.
Unknown to me,
I must believe you will die.
In that division of the secondhand
Lost now in the flight path
Away from the point of impact,
I must believe you will not save yourself.
Why else lose breath?
Why else step backwards
To make room for a tragic end?

Once balance is regained,
I marvel in the beauty of your swoop,
Admire the steadfast attention to your young
As you circle, dipping from branch to branch,
Singing nervously, as if that will make me behave,
Keep me from the ruin of your home.
As it is, I am little threat,
But how would you know?

In that precipitous drop
Do you know the angle of escape by heart?
Or is it an improvisation,
A brilliant misdirection
Fueled by panic,
Tempered by pure aeronautic talent?
I want to reassure you,
Let you know I mean no harm.
But you do not listen,
You circle and sing,
Circle and sing.
