Thrush Song from Holy Omen by Greta Ruth

right at the edge of the roof there’s a nest
day breaks and little voices awake to beg

I wanted to mother, I wanted to help
you wanted another, or maybe yourself
I wanted a mother, I wanted help
you wanted another, or maybe yourself

I only know that the dawn brings back sight
and there’s so many creatures in the daylight

to say I’ve been sad is the saddest word
like my heart is some little waiting bird

when I wanted a lover, you wanted yourself
you wanted a mother, I couldn’t help

I only know that the dawn brings back sight
but sometimes the night really takes her time

right at the edge of the roof there’s a nest
little wings that grow strong as they can

I only know that the dawn brings back sight
in the wonder of two weeks taking flight

they’ll be alright
they’ll be alright
