The Thing With Feathers Lyrics & Chords By Maura Kennedy

I feel the thing with feathers beating in its soul cage
I love to set it free to see how far it flies
But hold it tightly 'til it crumbles in its old age
The cage is empty when the hope inside you dies

I feel the thing with feathers beating in its soul cage
I love to set it free to see how far it flies
But hold it tightly 'til it crumbles in its old age
The cage is empty when the hope inside you dies
Dies, dies

I hear that thing with feathers crying for an earthworm
It knows you're out there and it thinks that it could die
But feed it once and it will promise you a good turn
For hope is fragile when the lightning streaks the sky

I feel the thing with feathers
It thinks that it should die
But feed it once a good turn
For hope is fragile in the –

I hear that thing with feathers crying for an earthworm
It knows you're out there and it thinks that it could die
But feed it once and it will promise you a good turn
The cage is empty when the hope inside you dies

I feel the thing with feathers beating in its soul cage
I love to set it free to see how far it flies
But hold it tightly 'til it crumbles in its old age
The cage is empty when the hope inside you dies
Dies, dies
