Bird in the Hand

There's a man on the roadside Standing in the shadow of a stop sign When you think there's nowhere left for you to go That's when you cling tight to the devil you know, and you know Let's go down to the river Where the water runs still and deep Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be You'll drink 'til there's nothing left Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves A bird in the hand Now that's a miracle that I can believe There are rats in the silos Drowning themselves in your sorrows You can have your cake and eat it too Now that the wall's too thick for you to chew your way out through Out through, out through Let's go down to the river Where the water runs still and deep Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be You'll drink 'til there is nothing left Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath Shapes in the sand, warm shining through the leaves A bird in the hand Now that's a miracle that I can believe Bird in the hand (bird in the hand) Bird in the hand (bird in the hand) Bird in the hand (Lord, understand) Bird in the hand (Lord, understand) Bird in the hand Let's go down to the river Where the water runs still and deep Scatter the ashes of the mess I used to be You'll drink 'til there is nothing left Lay on the shore and take a good deep breath Shapes in the sand, warm sun shining through the leaves A bird in the hand Now that's a miracle that I can believe Now that's a miracle I can believe Now that's a miracle I can believe Now that's a miracle I can believe
