David Gray Jackdaw lyrics

I'm like a jackdaw, cawing at your back door
Scratching at your windowpane
Hey, throw your window wide
And taste the April night with me again

Girl, we been veering backwards
Disappearing down into the murky deep
Baby come on, we'll be a long time gone
That's time enough for sleep

And hey, now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone we'll sure never find it
Pining for lost innocence

Our hammers beating hard against
That old facade, some other air to breathe
That we might break these molds
And free our restless souls, start to believe

That we can rise above
Our pettiness and love like we ain't loved before
Free on this earth as the surf that rolls
And crashing on the shore

And hey, now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone we'll sure never find it

Pining for lost innocence

Tantalizingly I saw
Our shadows moving through the door
Traces from a different time
When I was yours and you were truly mine, all mine

And I still want you, yeah
And I still want you, yeah
And I still want you, yeah
And I still want you, yeah

I still want you, yeah
I still want you, yeah
I still want you, yeah
I still want you

And hey, now don't run and hide
Your little heart away
If it's gone I'll sure never find it

Pining for lost innocence
Pining for lost innocence
Pining for lost innocence
