Jess Williamson - As the Birds Are Lyrics

Oh to be as the birds are
Unburdened by loneliness
Oh to be a shining star
So far away with no regret
Oh to live in some photograph
Smiling and in love
Far from where I said all that
Shit about freedom
Annie, put your weapon down
I saw you last night, you were runnin round
With them coyotes hollerin in the city streets
They don't lay a hand on me
Fancied myself the exception
To almost any rule
Youth is wasted on the young
I was exceptionally cruel
Like any person I am insecure
You never judged me for that mountain
You gave me love, I wasn't woman enough
I just drank up the fountain
Annie, put your weapon down
I saw you last night, you were runnin round
With them coyotes hollerin in the city streets
They don't lay a hand on me
They don't lay a hand on me
They don't lay a hand on me
