Bird Stealing Bread Iron & Wine

Tell me, baby, tell me
Are you still on the stoop
Watching the windows close?
I've not seen you lately
On the street, by the beach
Or places we used to go

I've a picture of you
On our favorite day by the seaside
There's a bird stealing bread
That I brought out from under my nose

Tell me, baby, tell me
Does his company make
Light of a rainy day?
How I've missed you lately
And the way you would speak
And all that we wouldn't say

Do his hands in your hair
Feel a lot like a thing you believe in?
Or a bit like a bird stealing bread
Out from under your nose?

Tell me, baby, tell me
Do you carry the words
Around like a key or change?
I've been thinking lately
Of a night on the stoop
And all that we wouldn't say
