Peculiar Bird

I know the streets of your hometown, cuz they’re just the same as mine
A thousand miles and a little time won’t change my mind
I call your name on the boulevard and you, you run and hide
But that hiding place of yours is a price grown too high
You choose your words but you hide ‘em good, in that house not a home
‘bout how your heart’s a peculiar bird, with its frail hollow bones
I know the flutter of your hand in mine, I know the low sling of your hips
Like I know a hiding place in the soft brush of your lips
You sew the names of the boys you love into a feather pillow you made
I read it front-to-back a time or two, I know the whole sorry parade
You mutter schemes in your sleep at night, workin’ to fill up both hands
I trace my name on the flat of your palm, more prayer than demand
You burn the letters and you curse my name and call me the worst kind of fool
To shoo a caged bird then close the door you know is just needlessly cruel
I’ll keep these rooms and I’ll mind the flue with little hope for reply
But little hope is hope enough when there’s no price too high
Yeah little hope is hope enough when there’s no price too high

Upstate Revisited
by The Kintners
I love the Kintners--and if you're looking for some great acoustic songs stripped down to their lovely core...look no further. Check out "John Brown"!

Joe Pernice can write a lush pop tune like nobody's business but I love the sparse and fragile recordings on "Richard."They highlight his beautiful voice and some lovely delicate guitar work.

Whip smart, slick, dark (but not hopeless to my ear) and gorgeously rendered. A stunning piece of work from an artist worth watching.
