lirik lagu paul kelly, james ledger, alice keath & seraphim trio – barn owl
[verse 1]
daybreak: the household slept
i rose, blessed by the sun
a h~rny fiend, i crept out with my father’s gun
[verse 2]
let him dream of a child, obedient, angel~mind
old no~sayer, robbed of power by sleep
i knew my prize, who swooped home at this hour
with day~light riddled eyes to his place on a
high beam in our old stables
to dream light’s useless time away
[verse 3]
i stood, holding my breath
in urine~scented hay, master of life and death
a wisp~haired judge whose law would punish
beak and claw
[verse 4]
my first shot struck, he swayed, ruined
beatin’ his only wing as i watched
afraid by the fallen gun
a lonely child who believed death clean and final
[verse 5]
not this obscene bundle of stuff
that dropped and dribbled through the loose straw
tangling in bowels, and hopped blindly closer
[verse 6]
i saw those eyes that did not see
mirror my cruelty, while the wrecked thing that could not
bear the light nor hide hobbled in its own blood
[bridge]
my father reached my side
gave me the fallen gun
“end what you have begun”
[verse 7]
i fired, the blank eyes shone once into mine
and slept, i leaned my head upon
my father’s arm and wept, owl blind in early sun
for what i had begun
