LYRICS:
Sister starling’s on the move she’s going down
Watch the iridescence fading from her crown
She looks up when she hits the ground
Broken wing, feathers all around
Pick the starling up and bring the bird inside
Fashion her a bed of needles and rawhide
She sleeps with unblinking eyes I watch - another morning dies
Apples and oranges don’t make lemonade
But I press and I squeeze anyway
When life gives you gin, you make something
I will do anything you say
Try to find her in the elements at night took out my diving mask and underwater light
I can go deep looking for a fight she stays out of mind out of sight
Makeshift magazines now blowing in the wind
I remembered all my dreams way back when
I’d wake up reach for a pen can’t catch her now couldn’t catch her then
Apples and oranges don’t make lemonade
But you press and you squeeze anyway
When life gives you gin, you make something
I will do anything you say
And if you told me to jump I’d climb to the top of the CN tower today
watch me fly away
Took half of my life to get here it’ll take half to get back to the bed I was born in it’s where I want to die where do you want to die? Made a lot of money
Only to lose it while trying to fake it
Makes me want to cry what makes you want to cry?
Found a letter in an old festival tote smoothed the paper out to read the crumpled note
I’m sorry...that’s all she wrote
