"Pigeon Feathers" lyrics

I once dreamed I was a poet
But I was bound to a single page
You're not just a pen and a piece of paper
You're a dog-eared book grown old with age

I've got a friend with a golden table
And he dines with the best of men
He'd buy you that silver mirror
If you could see that it's only sand

I believe that I'm a writer
But I am bound to a single page
Sipping coffee at the edge of nightfall
Kissing you under summer rain

But you feed the fire when you close the door...
