lyrics

Little Bird, I'm afraid
of the things you're gonna see
this place is not fit for you
but it's where you've gotta be
I'm cynical to a fault
and I can't say that I'd change
but I'll endure fire and hell
to protect you from the things
you fear most in the night
and the things that hold you down
and maybe then we'd pretend
that we're floating off the ground
weightless and warm again
around us, only air
and when we're back down again
on the land I'll keep you near

and as you're falling asleep in my arms
I wrap, wrap myself tightly around you

Little Bird, I'm afraid
of the things that you might be
and only the dimming sun
is there to comfort me
and here in the morning light
I open up my eyes and
forget all the pictures of
all the things that I have seen
now branches bare where leaves once green
and the golden blanket thrown
the shadows 'cross the great divide
and the frosted windows moan
the air is cold, my breath is deep
I hear the beating of your wings
and the sweet small sound of your morning song
fills the air and keeps me so warm

and as you're falling asleep in my arms
I wrap, wrap myself tightly around you

about

L'anarchiste Salt Lake City, Utah

"The music of Salt Lake City's L'anarchiste gives us these sensations that could be read as awakenings - making us understand what it means to be here now. It's about the stream that we have forgotten we can hear rushing from our backyard. When attention is paid to it, its volume cuts to us like the healthy call of a locomotive searing through a crossing." -Sean Moeller, Daytrotter ... more
