lyrics

He left the ruins with a smile on his face
He knew the secret rule
He carried no request
Just a bag and an old dance
Little beauty in hands

He had a home in a lost inner storm
He worked as a diver
And a wanderer
His vision of tomorrow
Was in the hands of a sparrow

And as he walked straight down to the road
He kept his smile on his face
No one to follow
But his love and a cold dance
Little money in hands

He crossed the line with no burden to hide
Beauty lied on his chest
He carried no disgrace
But the light of a romance
And no duty in hands

When you get to bury a smile you love
Keep your last one high above

about

MOCKING DEAD BIRD Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, France

The Band was born in july 2017. But the guys knew each other for a very long time. Real friends, connected souls & hearts. These blue rock songs and dark folk ballads were waiting for the good time to rise. Mind the dead bird still mocking.
