Passenger Lisa Hannigan

[Verse 1]
Walking round Chicago
I have smuggled you as cargo
Though you are far away unknowing
By the time we get to Salt Lake
I have packed you in my suitcase
Ironed the creases from my own remembering

[Chorus]
She said, "Bird, oh why?"

[Verse 2]
We wound our way to Texas
And I summoned remote hexes
And I sent them across dust and oceans
In Phoenix, Arizona I had the notion I might phone you
But there it lived and died a notion

[Chorus]
She said, "Bird, oh why?"
And I said, "Bird, oh why?"

[Post-Chorus]
Oh my satellite
Oh my passenger
