lyrics

The dawning Appalachia's hours from this night
so I will wait here for the light
wondering maybe if tonight my town will finally rise again

I thought of you as I slipped off that evening
but as I settled on a dream
I heard a gathering of wings
and woke to angels in my yard erasing darkness from the night

They had the legs of men the heads of hummingbirds
their autumn feathers lined with words
the tattooed nouns and verbs
in a language that I heard them speak but couldn't understand

I cried and tried to tell the story of my town
but I couldn't make a sound
and as I fainted to the ground
and angel laid me down and said a single word into my ear

Feathers pierced my skin and formed a ruby crest of fur
and when I spoke I heard
the warble of a bird
So I flew screaming out the word across the morning's breaking light

I woke alone with feathers covering everything
I was back in my own skin
and as the morning emptied in
I was remembering I spoke some word I couldn't quite recall
