From Hodges Shan't Be Shot
One-minute MP3
She's a walking
wonder
She don't speak until you say goodbye
But she changes her colors
Like the skin of an autumn northern spy
Won't you come
out laughing
'Cause it makes me smile
I can be patient, I can keep
silent
Waiting for you to come out for a while
She's a prisoner of
theirs
All the factions at war behind her eyes
If they agree to disagree
Then she creeps past the lions hiding the light
When you come
out laughing
It makes me fly
I keep a patient eye in the sky
Waiting
for all of your stars to align
Serinading a song of
sanity
Beneath your panes of reserve
Throwing my pebbles like a school
boy
You take another step from what you deserve
One of these days
you'll come down from the wire
That's when the colors will change on my
northern spy
