At the window sill I sit to weep my sorrows Ugly birds join in on my grief Their hard caws echo my sorry cries In mourning I have become a bird as unsightly As grieving crows in barren trees
Why might I weep a loss not lived? A child's tears I stopped from spilling Caw ugly birds, for your sorrows So I might join your wretched song To pour my troubles to cold skies
Hands made to hold the world, cannot hold a wide-eyed child Foul cries, like ugly caws, do not comfort Wipe your eyes youngling, you will never have to caw to the skies Stop weeping creature, thought you might only cradle dreams Leave the birds to weep for you
