Waxwing Funeral

from Russian Novels by Luna Moth

/

lyrics

Waxwing funeral, the afternoon as grey as grey can be.
All the sparrows silent, simultaneously sad and sweet.
All our sorrows laid bare in the time it takes for birds to blink.
Every bird will blink.

Waxwing Funeral, the neighborhood as grey as grey can be.
All the swallows silent, contemplating their mortality.
All our grievances aired in the space it takes for birds to breathe.
Every bird will breathe.

Waxwing funeral, the garden is as grey as grey can be.
All the starlings silent, savoring the shelter of the trees.
All our sadness stripped down in the time it takes for birds to die.
Every bird will die.

And when that waxwing dies again, he will be back to live again, as sure as birds will blink and breathe and sing.
And when that waxwing lives again, he will be here to sing again, as sure as birds will blink and breathe and die.
When that waxwing dies again, he will be back to live again as sure as birds will blink and breathe and sing.
