The first time lightning hit me Was the night I met your daddy It flew down the dance tent pol Threw me to the red dirt floor And as I reached to him For the very first time Tiny fire flew from his hand to mine Fixed me to the spot Feu de grace I want to tell you everything I want to spare you everything Littlewing The second time it hit me I was holding you In the dead of night In the dead of night it lit your eyes It lit your eyes and stopped your cries It stopped your cries and Flowed through the bed It flowed through the bed and Fixed you to my breast Fixed you to the spot Feu de grace So I gave you a name that sounds Like far away In hopes that you'll run From this place someday As soon as your feet Can carry your weight Run from your people Littlewing fly We pull the fire from the sky I want to tell you everything I want to spare you everything Littlewing I'd give up everyone I'd give up every one of my days To spare you one moment's pain
