lyrics

Mountain, prairie, prairie, ocean
How she loved to dance and sail
Mountain, prairie, prairie, ocean
How she curtseyed, how she fell

How she snuck out
How she struck out

Ten, nine, eight… ten, nine, eight, seven
They took a knife to every edge
Carving hollows shaped like thoughts
Sculpting wordless question marks

She stopped counting
Stopped reciting

A dynasty of birds who grumbled
Bitterly into their wings
Killed the only one among them
Who ever dared to sing
One whose colours were distinct
Whose colours were so delicately inked
A fire-feathered prize
A bird of paradise
