Chickadee from Landlocked by Erica Dee Mah

I can hear the black-capped chickadee’s song
I can hear the black-capped chickadee’s song
We can sleep this off, sleep this off
We can sleep this off, sleep this off

In the ocean of night, I set my sails wide
Let in the light, let in the light, let in the light
When the seasons begin, we spread ourselves thin
Cover the ground, cover the ground, cover the ground

I can hear the black-capped chickadee’s song
I can hear the black-capped chickadee’s song
We can sleep this off, sleep this off
We can sleep this off, sleep this off

And the leaves will uncurl, to colour the world
Let us rejoice! Let us rejoice! Let us rejoice!
We will cast off our sleeves, rediscover our knees
Oh we are young! Oh we are young! Oh we are young!

It’s gonna be a cold one, by the stiff and soldier pines
They’re sharpening the treetops in the January skies

I can hear the black-capped chickadee’s song
I can hear the black-capped chickadee’s song
We can sleep this off, sleep this off
We can sleep this off, sleep this off
