We made a home in the hollows in those undying shores We let our bones become hollow and grew feathers to soar Halcyon days oh halcyon days in our place, life and death held no sway We grew out our beaks and spoke through our songs We had no endings Our love knew no pause. We shrieked our shrill joy in a sunless sky We held each other through the moonless night Halcyon days oh halcyon days a kingfisher groom his kingfisher dame We made a home in the hollows in those sterile shorelines We made eggs that were hollow and knew that was fine Halcyon days oh halcyon days in our choice, life and death get no say.
