Snowbird - M. Craft (Martin Craft)[00:00:00]
Snowbird was just a little girl once[00:00:20]
All tangled up in dandelion hair and polka dots[00:00:23]
And a picture book mind full of dreams and designs[00:00:27]
And visions of faraway places[00:00:30]
Yeah she drew underwater worlds and cities in the stars[00:00:33]
In the Asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars[00:00:37]
In felt tips and crayons her little works of art[00:00:41]
All promised a future of greatness[00:00:45]
She caught the sunlight in her eye[00:00:48]
Underneath the winter sky[00:00:52]
I'll paint the world until I die she said[00:00:55]
One day I'll spread my wings and fly high like a snowbird[00:01:00]
Yes I will[00:01:15]
Her daddy died when she was only ten[00:01:24]
But all she cried came out in ink and in pen[00:01:28]
She drew charcoal streets leading down to dead ends[00:01:31]
Where heads hung low in sorrow[00:01:35]
But she was left a small fortune at the reading of the will[00:01:38]
About enough for a life and then another life still[00:01:42]
And with her mother in a haze of vodka and pills[00:01:45]
Snowbird had just dreamed of tomorrow[00:01:49]
She caught the sunlight in her eye[00:01:53]
Underneath the winter sky[00:01:57]
I'll paint the world until I die she said[00:02:00]
One day I'll spread my wings and fly high like a snowbird[00:02:04]
Yes I will[00:02:21]
That's right[00:02:23]
Years went by and she hit eighteen[00:02:29]
And left home for the art school scene[00:02:32]
To paint the people of the shadows and the faces unseen[00:02:35]
For her hero was now Egon Schiele[00:02:39]
But she did a couple of little canvases and bad super 8[00:02:42]
And a conceptual piece that was thirty years too late[00:02:46]
It was all she could fit between the dinner and the dates[00:02:50]
With dreamers and drummers and dealers[00:02:53]
She caught the sunlight in her eye[00:02:57]
Underneath the winter sky[00:03:01]
I'll paint the world until I die and she said[00:03:04]
One day I'll spread my wings and fly high like a snowbird[00:03:09]
Yes I will[00:03:22]
Well who's that girl in the little black dress[00:03:31]
Her head held high like a real princess[00:03:37]
A glimmering shimmering coked up mess[00:03:40]
A fashion trash art school failure[00:03:44]
Yeah her fingernails are all there's left to paint in her world[00:03:47]
She dishes out the dirt with the party powder girls[00:03:51]
Who think love comes in diamonds and wisdom in pearls[00:03:54]
And art is just paraphernalia[00:03:58]
She's lost the sunlight from her eye[00:04:02]
There's only a mirror ball left in her sky[00:04:05]
I'll do what I want till the day that I die[00:04:09]
Now see me spread my wings I can fly high like a snowbird[00:04:12]
Snowbird was just a little girl once she was[00:04:52]
Snowbird was just a little girl once[00:04:59]
Snowbird was just a little girl once she was[00:05:06]
Snowbird was just a little girl once but now she can fly[00:05:13]
