David Wilcox - Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song

David Wilcox

Chet Baker's Unsung Swan Song

My old addiction
Changed the wiring in my brain
So that when it turns the switches
Then I am not the same

So like the flowers toward the Sun
I will follow
Stretch myself out thin
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
That sends me out into this window

My old addiction
Is a flood upon the land
This tiny lifeboat
Can keep me dry
But my weight is all
That it can stand

So when I try to lean just a little
For just a splash to cool my face
Ahh that trickle
Turns out fickle
Fills my boat up
Five miles deep

My old addiction
Makes me crave only what is best
Like these just this morning song birds
Craving upward from the nest
These tiny birds outside my window
Take my hand to be their mom
These open mouths
Would trust and swallow
Anything that came along

Like my old addiction
Now the other side of Day
As the springtime
Of my life's time
Turn's the other way

If a swan can have a song
I think I know that tune
But the page is only scrawled
And I am gone this afternoon
But the page is only scrawled
And I am gone this afternoon

Mirror lyrics:

And I am gone this afternoon
But the page is only scrawled
And I am gone this afternoon
But the page is only scrawled
I think I know that tune
If a swan can have a song

Turn's the other way
Of my life's time
As the springtime
Now the other side of Day
Like my old addiction

Anything that came along
Would trust and swallow
These open mouths
Take my hand to be their mom
These tiny birds outside my window
Craving upward from the nest
Like these just this morning song birds
Makes me crave only what is best
My old addiction

Five miles deep
Fills my boat up
Turns out fickle
Ahh that trickle
For just a splash to cool my face
So when I try to lean just a little

That it can stand
But my weight is all
Can keep me dry
This tiny lifeboat
Is a flood upon the land
My old addiction

That sends me out into this window
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
Stretch myself out thin
I will follow
So like the flowers toward the Sun

Then I am not the same
So that when it turns the switches
Changed the wiring in my brain
My old addiction
