lyrics

catch my feathers as they fall
they’re bound to reach you after all
you heed the wind i heed the call

call me patient call me brave
come seek the treasures in my cave
i’m learning how to misbehave

tell me something if you would
the tales a feather catcher could
it’s where i’ve loved
it’s where i’ve stood
it’s where i wait

leave your patience leave your gold
leave your secrets safe untold
oh come with me the time has slowed

leave my petals ‘round your door
and leave my scratches on your floor
i know you better than before

tell me something if you would
the tales a secret keeper could
it’s where i’ve loved
it’s where i’ve stood
it’s where i wait

backyard beauty six string player
late night duty dragon slayer
moving slowly takes a little time
counting streetlights guarding towers
bending breaking endless hours
just to know the only thing that's mine

backyard beauty six string player
late night duty dragon slayer
touch the flame the night delivers
breathing fire seething rivers
avalanches wind and weather
if we go we go together
second chances home fires burning
midnight harvest light returning
backyard beauty moonlit glances
fascinations circumstances
back to sleep and back to dreaming
back to songs instead of screaming
counting streetlights guarding towers
bending breaking endless hours
just to know the only thing that’s mine

tell me something if you would
the tales a dragon slayer could
it’s where i’ve loved
it’s where i’ve stood
it’s where i wait
