Better Things Lyrics

On winter nights the mermaid sings
I was made for better things
Better things, dearie, better things

In early spring the ghost princess
Goes haunting in her pretty dress
Pretty dress, your majesty, pretty dress

And I have heard the singing of real birds
Not those absurd birds that simply everybody's heardThe Magnetic Fields - Better Things - http://motolyrics.com/the-magnetic-fields/better-things-lyrics.html
Real birds

In summer when the moon is full
The wolf boy is adorable
Adorable, you're adorable

I have observed the winging of real birds
Not those reserved birds that simply everyone's observed
Real birds
