[Intro] [Verse 1] There is nothing past this island I have checked in every direction The water goes out flat and grey And it does not become anything There is a hill and there are rocks There is a place the wind comes from There is enough here to survive on And there is nothing here to want [Pre Chorus] I have been learning what I am now It takes a while Nobody left instructions [Chorus] I looked at a bird this morning And the bird is on the hillside now It has not moved and it will not move And it will be there when I die I looked at a bird this morning That is all I did [Verse 2] The hair does what it wants to I have stopped fighting it It is not the worst part It is not even close The worst part is the looking The worst part is the looking The worst part is that I still want to look At absolutely everything [Chorus] I looked at a bird this morning And the bird is on the hillside now It has not moved and it will not move And it will be there when I die I looked at a bird this morning That is all I did [Outro]
