Nothern Spy

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
