Feathers

History's made its mark in anger As everybody knows, it's what we do It's nothing new The next chords struck are fault and failure And we both know that finger points on cue There's blame for two Do you really want him calling, Newo Do you really think he's coming back to you? Oh, once the world stops spinning, read that writing on the wall Is there another, Newo? Is there cushion just enough to break the fall Oh, don't you cry Just lie there baby in the past, 'cause if you want it all right now Hide your feathers, on the back porch, baby He's coming home for, you've been such a liar Hide your feathers Little back porch lady You're too old Enough to cry those sorry eyes out over the world Hear me scream outside your window I'm only here to make my peace with you There's something new Oh, it was our time, that day in our lives If I could do things different what would I choose? Oh, don't you cry, Mama Please, don't cry Mama Oh, don't you cry, no, no Right now, hide your feathers, on the back porch, baby He's coming home for you've been such a liar Hide your feathers Little back porch lady You're too old Enough to cry those sorry eyes out over the world No other, would wait for a lover To embrace, boy When there's no more room for love You'll sell her off to the sharks Right now, hide your feathers, on the back porch, baby He's coming home for you've been such a liar Right now, hide your feathers, on the back porch, baby He's coming home for you've been such a liar Hide your feathers Little back porch lady You're too old Enough to cry those sorry eyes out over the world Wait a minute, little back porch lady Wait a minute, little back porch lady I'm in love Wait a minute, little back porch lady Oh, don't you cry, Mama Oh, don't you cry, no, no Wait a minute, little back porch lady Wait a minute, little back porch lady I'm in love Wait a minute, little back porch lady Oh, don't you cry, Mama Oh, don't you cry, no, no
