lyrics

He died on the steps
Crack to the head
With the rain dripping down his wings

Seven years, he said
And all lived to be dead
Most of them hearing a boy scream a few things

Something about help
Something about a girl thats stuck in his mind

The winged man thought, "I had forgot,
The boy and girl could never hope to be."

Gifted with flight,
He saw those two fight
The boy would stand laughing and the girl frowned in her chest

The season flew on by
Passed his five eyes
All of them mistaking the girl for her guest

The guest that would come
A girl that was pretty, commanding yet kind

The winged man bet, "This guest's silhouette
Is putting the test to this boy's matrimony"

Cicada blessed him,
The boy, whose guest, was trim
A long happy marriage in his last dying breath

The sad girl from before
Her heart was torn
Her trust was defeated, but her love...
