Pickering Pick On a Limb lyrics

What you thought was a brand new light
Was really fallen from some ancient star
It's gathered in a frozen comet tail
Hurtling down to where you are

I could walk out on a narrow ledge
I could go out on a limb
But what's the point of being with her
When she wants to be with him?

The sparrow that you held in your hand
Became a black crow in your mouth
And the water that's baptizing you
Has begun to wash you out

I could ford the river at its deepest point

I could go out on a limb
But what's the point of making future plans
When she wants to be with him?

Can you find yourself another one
To grow inside your garden walls?
Will you show him to the outside world
When your spirit falls?

I could float across the ocean
I could go out on a limb
But what's the point of being here
When she wants to be with him?
