Albatross

by David Latto

lyrics

It's raining on the river
Tapping on the roof
The street's November empty
I won't leave the house today
The soft light of the morning
Always fades too soon
The sunlight makes my eyes stream
The mute is lifted from the strings

I like the quiet places
I like the quiet places
So high above the noise

I am an albatross
I am an albatross
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me down
I am an albatross
I am an albatross
Don't make me walk
I'll only drag my wings along the ground

Soaring over oceans
Leaves me in no doubt
That wings are made for flying
This voice is made for crying out
To all of my companions
Scattered to the clouds
Whose only fear is landing
Who know the pain of coming down

I like the quiet places
I like the quiet places
So high above the noise

I am an albatross
I am an albatross
Don't shoot me down
Don't shoot me down
I am an albatross
I am an albatross
Don't make me walk
I'll only drag my wings along the ground

All those little lights
like stars upon the shore
Leave you wondering
What you're flying for
But you know over there
They'll never let you be
So if you can't live on land
You must live at sea
