Bird In a Gale

Are you blowing like a bird in a gale?
Does the pain of your loss seep into your feathers like rain?
Do the bars of your cage feel warm or cold to the touch?

Were my caresses too gentle, did I love you too much

Your dog is scratching at the door
The boy is drowning in the sea
Can I crash out on your floor?

A happy new year to you all
A happy new year to you all
A happy new year to you all
A happy new year to you all
On the first of January
On the first of January

The loon is howling at the sea
Can I crash out on your floor?
Is there room in the story for me?
