Lisa Hannigan Passenger

Walking round chicago,
I have smuggled you as cargo,
Though you are far away unknowing.
By the time we get to salt lake
I have packed you in my suitcase,
Ironed the creases from my own remembering

She said bird, why?

We wound our way to texas
Where I summoned remote hexes
And I sent them across dust and oceans.
In phoenix, arizona I had the notion
I might phone you,
But there it lived and died, a notion.

She said bird, why? I said bird, why?

Oh my satellite, oh my passenger.

We came up on ohio,
I have you chewed on like a biro.
You are a sum I am no closer to deciphering.
We came up to minneapolis,
All fizzy blood and twitchy fists.
I buried you in a day of snowing.

She said bird, why? I said bird, why?

Oh my satellite, oh my passenger.
