Lyrics to Tui Is A Bird (The Work)
Tui is a bird
Tui is a pepper and a baby
Tui is a baby
She wakes in the night
Decoding the colours of the streetlight
Flooding through the blind

Some days, all I think of is the size of my love
And what that means I could lose
Some days, it's an ocean, get scared I'll get broken
It's one more chance to choose

This love, this love, this hurt
Can you help me do the work?
She's a universe

If I do good things, whatever that means
Will only good things happen to me?
She presses her feet up against my cheek
And it makеs me almost start to cry

Some days, all I think of is the sizе of my love
And what that means I could lose
We fall down and then we get up
And it's one more chance to choose

This love, this love, this hurt
And I do it all for her
She's a universe

And I know I won't be around forever
And I know it's a privilege to survive
I just long to live to have the pleasure
Of seeing lines of age around her eyes

Tui
Tui
Tui
Tui
Tui
