Some Birds Don't Fly

No sense in denial

It's in the family blood

And it's hard to reconcile

With the thought she was

Hope you didn't feel a thing

I don't know why

You had that light

Some stars don't shine

Some birds don't fly

Doing that thing on your own

Now I don't bear thinking of

When you hide it with a stone

While the truth hits like a rock

Hope you woke up smiling

I don't know why

You had that life

Some stars don't shine

Some birds don't fly

And I remember your August coat

But I never saw you wear it

And who knows why you had to die?

Some words don't rhyme

Some wings don't work
