BLACK-TAIL

KT Tunstall-White Bird

White bird with a black tail,

Eyes Dark and face so pale,

You know what your future holds

over your side of the road

You look like an open sail,

Made me look up from my shoes.

To show me what you stand to lose

White Bird, White Bird,

With your face so pale

White Bird White bird

Where'd you get that tail

With a black tail

White feathers dipped in tar,

It's hard to tell how old you are,

Wonderin' how much you know,

About all of us below

Half of you is heavenly,

Showin off your purity

The rest of you is from the stream,

Like a land where they both meet

With your face so pale,

White Bird White Bird

With a black tail...
