recovery
Lyrics
there is a bird at seminary
looking down upon every
person passing under skies
beneath his watchful haunting eyes
Oh how beautiful
how beautiful the sky
oh how beautiful the sky
another bird was on the wall
'til I moved him to the upstairs hall
and put on a handmade cross up where
the wise old aging owl did stare
a journey i did have to make
northward to that wintry lake
where hunter and his dog had gone
and stayed until a later dawn
coming back i saw an owl
perched upon a leafless bough
looking back to where he'd seen
the tragic tearful happening
what is the meaning of these peers
who leave before they've lived their years
but to give us meaning in a way
that living could not as well convey
