Lyrics
She built a bench among the trees
Behind our house so she could hear
The song thrush in the April air
Salvage
And when it left as birds can do
She made from knives and old cog wheels
Reminder of the springtime there
Salvage
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
She takes the things we leave behind
And with a strength, a bluest flame
She gives our scrap another name
Salvage
Pennies and chameleons
She sees their form and understands
They're reborn with knowing hands
Salvage
Hammers, wrenches, planes and saws
Found in limbo at the yard
Welcome to another world
Salvage
Turn an ort and feather bed
Into the belly of a stag
Fenders become wings and rise
Salvage
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
To live again, to know your mind
Perhaps that is the greatest gift
To ask not how but dream of it
Salvage
Salvage
Fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
