She Came - Steve Wynn

She came silent through the skin of winter days

And she held between her palms a secret cage

Came and filled it with abandoned birds nests (nests of abandoned birds)

And the sound of night

She sat beside you and she unwound her hair

Around the bars, timeless strings resounding there

That you’re a field, ploughed down to a stone

And full of signs

As a bird flies off into the autumn day

Then wind lifts up and turns the papers page

Within the lane of lovers that have gone

You’re no longer known
