Lyrics
A break in the clouds above me
With light pouring in
A red-feather hawk
I'm kin to him
You open the door
"Ah, you again"
Say, "It's so good to see you!
Would you like to come in?"
A wind on the freeway shatters
And engines combust
A fragment of memory still burns through the dust
I saw their car
Through all that orange
They said, "It's so good to see you.
Would you like to come in?"
Awake in the morning, breathless
My throat all closed off
The birds are all chirping, when I
Start to cough
Your eyes squint
Tight
Then open wide
To the morning light
I'm by your side
You lift the sheet
And crack that grin
Say, "It's so good to see you!
Would you like to come in?"
