The Frames For The Birds Lyrics
1.Disappointed

Lyricist:Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen James Hansard, David John Hingerty,
Colm Macconiomaire, David Odlum

The future takes us where it leads
Our heads just go beneath the waves
Time tells all and we obey
But how can I be mad at you

You did what you did
And you followed through
You were the one who always said
Forget it and move on

But I'm not sad
I'm just disappointed
And I'm not mad
I'm just disappointed

Well, the years they get on top of you
The working load it tallied up
And you went down
Beneath it all like anybody would

And I'm just ambling on in this town
I can't get out and it drags me down
And these words don't really fit
What I'm feeling now

But I'm not sad
I'm just disappointed
And I'm not mad
I'm just disappointed

And you're not lost
You're just misdirected
And we're not going, oh nowhere


2.Giving Me Wings

Lyricist:Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen James Hansard, David John Hingerty,
Colm Macconiomaire, David Odlum

You're a fool man
You threw it away
You kill her
With your confidence

In the old days
The cause you embraced
The simple things
That people over complicate

Speaking in lines
Known to yourself
You're speaking at length
On all those days

Will you come with me
And we'll be ourselves, and we'll walk into the light
And you color yourself in golden wings
You're never yourself not even with me

Will you come with me
We'll ask the dust
It's on my way, it's all my concentration
Can hold

But you alienate me and throw it down
And rip it off, nothing's feeling right
And I'll show you how
You can sellotape it on

You're giving me wings
So I don't have to jump
You're giving me will
So I can carry on

Dissimulate and celebrate this
Time we had alone


3.Lay Me Down

Lyricist:Joseph Philip Doyle, Glen James Hansard, David John Hingerty,
Colm Macconiomaire, David Odlum

I will write you letters that
Explain the way I'm thinking now
I will return to you
What I have taken long before
I will return again
When it gets dark and day is done

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Down by your side, I will stay
So, lay me down

And if you wanna stay with me
Then let me know before it's light
I will recoil myself
Into the black and darkest night

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Where my father waits, I will stay
So, lay me down

And lay me down
In the hallowed ground
Down by your side, I will stay
So, lay me down
