I want to ride upon those feathers That cut through sightless, icy night Or glisten in the sunbeams And soar throughout the bright I’d like to know just what she spoke of When she heard it sings its tune To hear the notes hang overhead Ever present like the moon I want to look within my soul To see that same thing in its nest That beautiful thing with feathers Beneath my very chest

I want to ride upon those feathers That cut through sightless, icy night Or glisten in the sunbeams And soar throughout the bright I’d like to know just what she spoke of When she heard it sings its tune To hear the notes hang overhead Ever present like the moon I want to look within my soul To see that same thing in its nest That beautiful thing with feathers Beneath my very chest
