[Lyric] Scavenger Bird (Katie Morey)

[Verse 1]
I’m a scavenger bird
I’ve learned and unlearned
What it is I think I deserve
It’s only chance
That I should enjoy what I’ve earned

[Verse 2]
Just before night
Hovering five feet from the earth
Caught in a shroud
Trying to stand out in the murk

[Verse 3]
In the dew dropped morning
Clouds will cry
I’ll be none the wiser for staying inside

[Verse 4]
I’m a scavenger bird
I soar and search
Carrying my wings of worth
Looking for dead leaves
Or little specks of iridescent dirt
[Verse 5]
In the cold damp morning
Flowers will sigh
I'll be none the wiser
For staying inside

[Verse 6]
I’m a scavenger bird
Trying to discern
What to keep and what to burn
A little piece there
And something to spare for the worms

[Verse 7]
And then I’ll be off
Ready or not
Moving with the evening fog
Like getting pulled with the crowd
Can’t feel the ground
But you don’t try to make it stop
