"Little Bird Brown"

[E]Little brown bird
In the [E7sus4]long tall pine
Sees a [A]little higher than me[E]
Sings of grains
And [E7sus4]light summer wines
From the [A7]refuge of his long tall [E]tree
Where have you been
[E7sus4]Little bird brown?
[A]What have you seen of the [E]world?
"Lies and murder
In a [E7sus4]young widows gown.
[Asus2sus4]Hearts and [A]intentions un[E]furled"

Little bird brown
With your heart in the sky
Is it really as bad as you say?
[... 3 lines as of yet unwritten ...]
What do you see
Little bird brown
Wings stretched to measure the sky?
"Fire and pillage
For a soft pewter crown
Its luster as dead as goodbye"

Oh where have been bird
And where are you going
Who rarely lights to the earth?
....

She lay like a body in the water
She barely made a sound
She fell as quiet, as quiet, as a leaf falling
To the ground
