Beloved (She's the One)

If you wanted to eat then you could feast
At the banquet where I dine
And if you wanted to feat then I would bring
My choicest wines
Now if you wanted to rest, then take my best
Linens for your bed
And if you wanted to sleep then baby please
Lay down your head
(And the Lord whispered...)
She's the one, she's the one
Beloved, she's the one
Now if you wanted to bathe, I'd cause a wave
To come and make you clean
And if you wanted to swim, be baptized in
My lakes and streams
If you wanted to die, and lost your life
Then I would raise you back
And if you wanted to leave, then
I'd concede to that
(And the Lord whispered...)
She's the one, she's the one
Beloved, she's the one
And when the wise man says to go home
and my friends have left me all alone
and my own family have all disowned me
I'll go
'Cause I've got too much to lose and too much to say
Not to take you and love you the best anyway
She's the one...

Though this life is ordinary
Some day you will see
It's anything but ordinary
When you are with me
And though it may not be like
Anything you've ever seen
I will fill your blurry eyes
With visions from your dreams
With all imagination
And creation at our door
We'll do our best to never do
What has been done before
I hear her voice in the next room
Oh when she sings for me!
I quite like all her melodies
And sing them in my sleep
If we move, we move together
And if we breathe, we breathe as one

If you want to, if you want to, if you want to drink wine
If you want to, if you want to, if you want you can drink mine
From the fountain
From the mountain
If you want to drink wine with me
If you want to, if you want to
If you want to eat, dine with me
If you want to, if you want to
If you want to recline with me
If you want to, if you want to
If you want to drink wine with me
If you want to, if you want to
From the fountain
From the mountain
I'll be the one makin' eyes at you
From across the room, from across the room
You'll be the one smilin' back at me
Showin' me your teeth, showin' me your teeth
Come to me in the cool night
Come to my vineyards and drink of my wine
Run to me in summer time
I'm my beloved's and he is mine
Come to me in the cool night
Run with all speed and your arms open wide
Find me among the grape vines
Lay in the grass and consume my desire
Take me at just the right time
Come to my bedroom, oh lover of mine
Wait for the bloom in spring time
Don't awaken love 'til the time is right
Don't awaken love until the time is right!
From the fountain
From the mountain

Smiles are always looking for a mate
And never like to be alone
And touch is a great compliment to our words
And always looking for a home
Love is the only way to go
And living's the only way to know
And touch is a holy way to show
And risk is the only way to grow
Love is the risk that I'm dying to take
The promise I'm living to keep
And risk is the love I'm not willing to fake
And sacrifice our unity
Love is the only way to go
And living's the only way to know
And touch is a holy way to show
And risk is the only way to grow
Oh death, we taunt you, now where is your sting?
Oh death, it haunts you, where's your victory?
Oh death, we taunt you, now where is your sting?
Oh death, it haunts you, where's your victory?
How can we heal if we won't even touch
And how will we feel if we don't ever love?
How long has it been since you have touched
Someone to show them how much they are loved?

The champagne drips down your leg
In that green dress that I don't ever want to see again
On the escalator you waived
Did you drive straight back to his place?
Straight from the train station to his arms like you just couldn't wait?
Did you tell him we were engaged?
Did he have the right words to say?
Did you slip your ring off before you took all your clothes off for him?
Or did you just throw it away?
And maybe some day he'll pay
And I'll get the chance to take back all the love that you gave away
But revenge always digs two graves

Busted seams tie your goodly deeds
To your crucial need to be redeemed
From stones and sticks, I have got the stitch
That will make you rich in a crucifix
So If I gave you my blood, honey would you take it?
And if we made love, honey please don't fake it.
And if desire fell asleep, honey would you wake it?
A burning tongue and a confession
Is the rising sun on the way to love
The weakening night or triumphant light
Says I am yours, and you, you are mine
So If I gave you my blood, honey would you take it?
And if we made love, honey please don't fake it.
And if desire fell asleep, honey would you wake it?
And we wait for the dawn, will you stay awake?
We will be naked again, but we'll feel no shame
When everything will be revealed, but we'll have no pain
And all creation will sing our song's refrain

Quick Said the Bird Columbus, Indiana
At one of our very first shows, a friend dubbed us "an atmospheric folk pop orchestra" and we liked that. We prefer stomping floors to kick drums, hand-shakers to high-hats, and Casio-keyboards-through-tape-players to electric guitars. We try and create little backyard micro-epics. We hope we don't buff out too many of the imperfections. ... more
If you like Quick Said the Bird, you may also like:
Introspective, homespun folk tunes from John Donne that feel informed by the sugary bleakness of '80s and '90s indie pop.
