India Blue - Am I a Bird? Lyrics

Though the equinox subdued a thirst
I've been more than still with the tides
I've been more than patient with your hurt
Autumn jumped the queue I analysed
Thought that I would soften with the sun
As the slowing days did rise
But I'm still not right
Mama I'm tired of being difficult
When all I really want to be is his
And Mama I'm tired of being miserable
How many of these lessons do I really need to learn
Am I a burden, or am I a bird
Trying to remember to take a rest
To take a breath when all is sleeping
I'm bleeding out from bitten tongues
And reminiscing melodies before I was restrung
Carried away like a stick in the river
It's hard to forget but easy to forgive her
I know this time is just hardening fluff
In a world full of unreturned letters
It's already hard enough
Mama I'm tired of being difficult
When all I really want to be is his
And Mama I'm tired of being miserable
How many of these lessons do I really need to learn
Am I a burden, or am I a bird
All this destination is way to tempting
How can we be still
But like the spinning wheel
We all have time to live
And time to die
To die
To die
To die
Mama I'm tired of being difficult
When all I really want to be is his
And Mama I'm tired of being miserable
How many of these lessons do I really need to learn
Am I a burden
Am I a burden
Am I a burden
Or am I a bird

Though the equinox subdued a thirst
I've been more than still with the tides
I've been more than patient with your hurt
Autumn jumped the queue I analysed
Thought that I would soften with the sun
As the slowing days did rise
But I'm still not right
Mama I'm tired of being difficult
When all I really want to be is his
And Mama I'm tired of being miserable
How many of these lessons do I really need to learn
Am I a burden, or am I a bird
Trying to remember to take a rest
To take a breath when all is sleeping
I'm bleeding out from bitten tongues
And reminiscing melodies before I was restrung
Carried away like a stick in the river
It's hard to forget but easy to forgive her
I know this time is just hardening fluff
In a world full of unreturned letters
It's already hard enough
Mama I'm tired of being difficult
When all I really want to be is his
And Mama I'm tired of being miserable
How many of these lessons do I really need to learn
Am I a burden, or am I a bird
All this destination is way to tempting
How can we be still
But like the spinning wheel
We all have time to live
And time to die
To die
To die
To die
Mama I'm tired of being difficult
When all I really want to be is his
And Mama I'm tired of being miserable
How many of these lessons do I really need to learn
Am I a burden
Am I a burden
Am I a burden
Or am I a bird
