Little Feather

Tiny tiny

Feathered thing

You slept all night in the crook of my arm

And I checked to see

You move or breathe

Your chest is falling and rising

Stay with me

Stay with me

She said

Fold back the covers my darling

Reach out a leg or a hand

Open your eyes to the morning

You can

Hope, you're a delicate thing

Little feather, little wing

Sometimes I can't hear you sing

If I lose you, will you come looking?

This pale blue dot

It's all we've got

From up above you can only see love

But I was caught

Down in dust and frost

You lifted me when I was lost

Now stay

Stay with me

She said

Fold back the covers my darling

Reach out a leg or a hand

Open your eyes to the morning

You can

Hope, you're a delicate thing

Little feather, little wing

Sometimes I can't hear you sing

If I lose you, will you come looking?

Little bird so soft

How sweet your sound

So brave you saved my skin

I was hurt and lost

And now I'm found

Hope you're a delicate thing
