The King of All Birds - Aoife O'Donovan

Look out, look out

Here I come now, fists out

I’m a fighter bird

I’m a Harrier hawk, a wild flock

I keep time by the city clock

When the moon is steady, I’ll find you

I’m not lucky and I’m not scared

There could be goldmine anywhere

Anyone that I might want in this world

They’re asleep in the arms of another girl

Who will they be when the lights come up?

Everyone that I ever loved in my life

Now calls somebody else their wife

Who am I to you?

Get up, get up

Get it together and climb on up

To the top of the tree

I’m an owl now, a lonely owl

Who, who, where, what, why, when

How the hell did I get this far without you

Pull my feathers one by one

Put 'em in your pocket when I’m gone

Anyone that I might want in this world

They’re asleep in the arms of another girl

Who will they be when the lights come up?

Everyone that I ever loved in my life

Now calls somebody else their wife

Who am I to you?

Who am I to you?

Am I just anyone?

Am I the only one?

(x2)

Come on, come on

Put me back together, let me soldier on

I’m the King of it all

I’m a little wren, I’m happiest when

I hitch a ride on the wing of a friend

Looking down on everything then

When the road gets weary love

Remember who I’m dreaming of
