Pigeon Perched on the Stone Gargoyle

[Intro] [Pigeon Wing Flutter & Cooing Foley] Coo, coo... resting on the carved limestone A quiet companion that I've known [Verse 1] [Nylon Guitar & Felt Piano] Medieval gargoyle jutting from the eaves Sheltered from the autumn wind and leaves Gray city pigeon preening in the light Getting ready for the coming night Feathers ruffled by the gentle breeze Looking down upon the golden trees I sit beside my attic window sill Watching the outlines climb the distant hill [Pre-Chorus] [Muted Cello & Brush Snare] Sunlight gilds the stone wings with gold A timeless sentinel from days of old [Chorus] [Quaint Gothic Sunset Drop] Gray pigeon resting on the weathered stone gargoyle Free from every heavy earthly toil Above the cobblestones and avenues wide With nowhere in the world we need to hide Rest on, coo sweet, in the evening glow In the coziest rooftop that we know [Verse 2] [Rhodes Licks & Cello Drone] I toss a crust of bread onto the slate A little kindness at the day's late gate The bird pecks gently with a thankful nod Underneath the open sky of God [Bridge] [Soaring Vocal Harmony & Guitar Solo] Let the ancient stones keep their watch tonight Bathed in the celestial amber light Gargoyles, birds, twilight and pure grace Inside this honest living space [Chorus] [Full Grand Quaint Climax] Gray pigeon resting on the weathered stone gargoyle Free from every heavy earthly toil Above the cobblestones and avenues wide With nowhere in the world we need to hide Rest on, coo sweet, in the evening glow In the coziest rooftop that we know [Outro] [Pigeon Wing Flutter & Gentle Wind Fading] Stone gargoyle... Sunset roost. [Fade Out] [End]
