Jackdaw Songtext / Lyric

I'm like a jackdaw

Cawing at your back door

Scratching at your windowpane

Hey throw your window wide

And taste the April night with me again

Girl we been veering

Backwards disappearing

Down into the murky deep

Baby come on

We'll be a long time gone

That's time enough for sleep



And hey now don't run and hide

Your little heart away

If it's gone

We'll sure never find it

Pining for lost innocence






Our hammers beating hard

Against that old facarde

Some other air to breathe

That we might break these moulds

And free our restless souls

Start to believe

That we can rise above

Our pettiness and love

Like we ain't loved before

Free on this earth

As the surf that rolls

And crashes on the shore



And hey now don't run and hide

Your little heart away

If it's gone

We'll sure never find it

Pining for lost innocence



Tantalisingly I saw

Our shadows moving through the door

Traces from a different time

When I was yours and you were truly mine

All mine



And I still want you yeah

I still want you yeah

I still want you yeah

I still want you yeah

And I still want you yeah

I still want you yeah

I still want you yeah

I still want you



And baby don't run and hide

Your little heart away

If it's gone

We'll sure never find it

Pining for lost innocence

Pining for lost innocence

Pining for lost innocence
