Martina Topley Bird Lullaby lyrics

Let's take our wine closer to the fire side
No apologies, so much to say
And there is no time

There's a fairytale
You never learned to read or write
Oyster shell
And you never learned to look inside

Take it from me
He and I were winter bees
I fell easily
For visions I'd never see
(Stardust falling from my halo)

See there's this fairytale
You never learned to read or write
Oyster pearl
You never cared to look inside

I keep it clean
Your fingers press my cheek
You're not like me
My duty speaks and it moves my feet

You don't understand

Just like the rock in my hand
You don't understand
Just like the rock in my hand

There's a fairytale
You never learned to read or write
Oyster shell
You never cared to look inside

There's a fairytale
You never learned to read or write
Oyster shell
You never learned to look inside

Never cared to look inside
Never cared, never cared
Never cared to look inside

Never cared, never cared
Never cared to look inside
Never cared, never cared
Never cared to look inside
