The Ghost Of A Dead Hummingbird Flying Around The Room - Carissa's Wierd

sold a penny to the railroad

nothing gained and nothing lost

kept it underneath the pillow

and sent it out to you for your thoughts

will you hold it close to your heart

or will you lose it the same day

will you throw it in the well

to gently wish me away

do you really want me here

do you really want me to stay

do you really want me gone

do you really want to wish me away

the television glow will keep you

safe and warm when you’re alone

and you won’t be frightened by ghosts of birds that fly around the room

and terrorize you flying

im wide awake now

you’re sound asleep now

and these valiums are finally kicking in i can feel it under my skin

i can feel your breath on my breath

i can feel your heart on my arm

i can see the glow in the room

i can see the hummingbird fly away

now i can feel your weight in my arms

i can feel this weight on my heart

do you really want me to stay

do you really want me to go away

im wide awake now

you’re sound asleep now
