Lyrics
Lacy found a feather, she's gonna throw it in the wind
Lacy discovers a feather and plans to release it into the wind.
She pulls upon her sweater to keep the warmness in
She adjusts her sweater to retain warmth.
There ain't no reason why, but I know she'll never lie
Despite no apparent reason, it's asserted that Lacy won't deceive.
Lacy found a feather, baby
Reiteration of Lacy finding a feather, suggesting a recurring theme.
She's gonna blow it to the sky
Lacy intends to blow the feather into the sky.
And when the morning comes
Anticipation of a numb body as morning arrives.
Her body will be numb
Lacy's body will be numb in the morning.
And Lacy's prayers will fly
Lacy's prayers are expected to take flight.
And she said, "I don't wanna go
Lacy expresses reluctance to leave.
But here I fear I'm losing all control
Fear of losing control is articulated.
Lacy found a feather lying in the sand.
Lacy finds another feather, this time in the sand.
She knelt to pick it up and something grabbed her hand
Something unexpected happens when she reaches for it.
There ain't no reason why, but I know she'll never lie
Reiteration that Lacy won't lie without a clear reason.
Lacy found a feather, baby
Confirmation of Lacy finding a feather, with a foreboding tone.
She knows it's gonna die
Lacy acknowledges the impending demise of the feather.
And when the morning comes
Anticipation of numbness in the morning.
Her body will be numb
Lacy's body is expected to be numb when morning arrives.
And Lacy's prayers will fly
Lacy's prayers are envisioned to take flight once again.
And she said, “I don't wanna go
Reiteration of Lacy's reluctance to depart.
But here I fear I'm losing all control
Reiteration of the fear of losing control.
No, I don't wanna go
Lacy emphatically repeats her unwillingness to leave.
Baby, why don't we lose all control?
Suggesting a desire to abandon control with a companion.
And in the end we'll see how happy we could be
A vision of potential happiness if risks are taken.
If we could risk it all
A question posed about the willingness to risk everything.
Can we risk it all?
A final contemplation on whether it's possible to risk it all.
