Birds in the Woods: Music

Jerry Says

(track 5 in player below)

Jerry says “I lost the world today,
I had it right here in my hands
Made of dirt, made of solid stone
Suddenly, it turned to sand”

Jane sees Jerry from across the room
She don’t know why he’s crying
Jerry thinks he’s all alone, Alone
And he’s staring out his window.

But take heart in yourself friend
You’ll find we’re nowhere near the end
As for this tunnel that your in,
The light ahead is only the start to Heaven

Jerry thinks about his family 
Says “Momma I will see you soon”
Wonders if three flights is just high enough
For him to fall

Hears a shriek from across the room
But he finds he cannot fall
Floating now he is himself, staring
Into his mother’s outstretched arms.

She says,
(chorus)

Jerry starts to open his eyes now
he’s got tunnel vision all he sees is Jane now
“Are you the goddess are you an angel in disguise?”
“Only a fallen angel like yourself Love, rest your eyes.”

And ooh, she says
(chorus)
