Birds of a Feather

The Civil Wars · Barton Hollow [2011]

Where she walks no flower bloom

He's the one I see right through

She's the abcess on my lips

Splinter in my fingertips



But who could do without you

And who could do without you



She's the sea I'm sinking in

He's the ink under my skin

Sometimes I can't tell where I am

Where I leave off and he begins



But who could do without you

And who could do without you



Oh how we're a pretty, pretty pair

Yes we are

All, all the king's horse and all of his men

Couldn't tear us apart



Dancing with a ball and chain

But through it all we still remain

Butterflies around the flame

Til ashes, ashes we fade away
