Bird in Hand Lyrics

We haven't seen your face
In such a long, long time
We were wondering when you might come around

Was it all about money
Or was it just about time
That we realized just what you're all about

You're all about starving the fever
And feeding the cold - with your bird in hand
You say it keeps you down to earth

Well, the morning is a long time coming
But you can see it as plain as day
Was it a hard come down or are you back for more

And the winter wheat's been growing
But tell me do you miss that child
You know she's getting tall - I saw her yesterday

You're all about starving the fever
And feeding the cold - with your gun in hand
You say it keeps your children warm

I'm getting old before my time
Looking for what little truth there is to find

Feel those river fingers gripping
All the life that's left inside
Don't try to tell me that you've changed, your story's getting old
There's the simon silk mill breathing
Breathing her song into the air
I feel bad for you now - you've missed out on so much
I feel bad for you now - you've missed out on so much

You're all about starving the fever
And feeding the cold - with your bird in hand
You say it keeps you down to earth
Down to earth

You're all about starving the fever
And feeding the cold - with your gun in hand
You say it keeps your children warm
Your children warm

You know, it won't get any better
It won't get any better
You know, it won't get any better
It won't get any better
No, no, no..............
