lyrics

sister starling’s on the move she’s going down
watch the iridescence fading from her crown
she looks up when she hits the ground
broken wing, feathers all around

pick the starling up and bring the bird inside
fashion her a bed of needles and rawhide
she sleeps with unblinking eyes 
i watch - another morning dies

apples and oranges don’t make lemonade
but i press and i squeeze anyway 
when life gives you gin, you make something
i will do anything you say

try to find her in the elements at night 
took out my diving mask and underwater light
i can go deep looking for a fight 
she stays out of mind out of sight

makeshift magazines now blowing in the wind
i remembered all my dreams way back when
i’d wake up reach for a pen 
can’t catch her now couldn’t catch her then

apples and oranges don’t make lemonade
but you press and you squeeze anyway
when life gives you gin, you make something
i will do anything you say
and if you told me to jump i’d climb to the top of the CN tower today
watch me fly away

took half of my life to get here 
it’ll take half to get back to the bed i was born in 
it’s where i want to die 
where do you want to die?
 made a lot of money
only to lose it while trying to fake it
makes me want to cry 
what makes you want to cry?

found a letter in an old festival tote
 smoothed the paper out to read the crumpled note
i’m sorry...
that’s all she wrote
