lyrics

How do I keep it safe?
Lock everything away
Keep it from the light

How do I make you stay?
Boarded and bricked away
Keep you in the night

Hold on to me

If you might not come back to me
Why should I ever set you free?
If you don’t belong to me
You still should be mine

If my heart’s a cage
Then at least that keeps you safe
If I clip your wings
Don’t try to fly
Why don’t you sing?

Oh to be so adored
Isn’t that what we’re for?
What else could you need?

Everything here is yours
Everything but that door
That belongs to me

Hold on to me
Why won’t you hold on to me?

If I clip your wings
Don’t try to fly
Why won’t you sing?

If I clip your wings
Don’t cry
Just sing

“Like Gram Parsons, Pittelman peels away the superficiality that much of country music has embraced and looks deep into its soul, its history, and its stories and makes it all her own.”—No Depression

Long Time Coming
by Sierra Ferrell

supported by 5 fans who also own “Part II: Caged Bird”

Sierra Ferrell's music is the nectar that drips from vocal chords of angels on ecstacy and percocet, dripping with honey, and smelling of grandma's brownies. It has been proven to "cure what ails ya", and it temporarily wards off the existential dread that is slowly encompassing us all. Don't let the absurdity of our existence get you down. Listen to Sierra Ferrell instead. I am me and I approved this message. oldmanj716
