A small bird – Deer of Bergen Lyrics
Artist: A small bird
Song: Deer of Bergen
Two figures dance across the street as white as ghosts
Under the shade of trees torn down years ago
Wandering up the avenue, cars
Careening around the turn
What they’re looking for is long since gone
A lesson hard to learn
For albino deer of Bergen on a county highway curb
It was never their intention to move out to the burbs
They know where they’re going, some emerald field in south Jersey
But they often change directions
And second-guess the journey
This body hit this windshield like a meteor from space
A stag the brown of summer fell, a pale one took its place
The grandly antlered poltergeist just on the search for somewhere dry
The albino deer of Bergen
Cross the street beside the lake
They didn’t bring their passes
But they pass between the gates
The fawns all hit the beach and play some tag along the shore
The parents take a walk and wonder what the fence is for
Intertwined with power lines
The branches seem amiss
Heading for the edge of town
But the edge does not exist
For an albino deer of Bergen
Reclining on my lawn
Watching the trees and wondering when she should move on
Her coat as white as a piece of the moon that fell to earth
Those crimson eyes betray a kind of un-resenting hurt
The albino deer of Bergen disappears between the trees
A final verdant vestige of the place this used to be
One oddly human stare behind a thin ruminant face
And then, vanished
Gone without a trace
