Kendra McKinley - Breadcrumbs Lyrics

I took the dirt road, it's the long way home
Guided by a shadow
I borrowed feathers from a mourning dove,
And made you a headdress out of my love.

While painting with laughter I learned your name
And counted the freckles on your frame
A constellation of innocense,
Permission for our love affair to commence.

Baby bird, listen how you stumble on your words
I know your beak is hungry but your appetite
Won't be satiated by a familiar bite
You're fogging up the windows of your mind,
What are you trying to find?

Who could predict such a stormy pain,
Without the aid of a weather vain?
So collect your raindrops,
Preserve your dew
And will leave a trail of breadcrumbs for you.

You seem frail, gathering the breadcrumbs from the trail
Dwelling in the shade, even in the sun's golden arcade
And though you salute winter and wish her well,
I know you're caught in cutumn's spell.
