Babybird | Now come back babybird With your dirty wings in tatters, Well Come home where you belong Nobody knows you better, Now bring back your velvet heart and We'll make you brand new feathers, Sleep through the morning light With your arms around your brother, Babybird now come back home, Well babybird, You were never really on your own, Now outside faces cry with the tears of lonesome orphans, And behind every mask is the face of a mother, Now where ever you have been, Where ever you took cover, No arms that pulled you in could hold you like your mother, Babybird come back home, Well babybird you were never really on your own, When all my colors fade and my wings they turn to leather, I'll know the reasons why God let me get older, When all my days are through and I fly these hills no longer, I'll lay beneath the stars and I'll watch you flying over, Babybird come back home, Now babybird you were never really on your own, Babybird now come back home, Now babybird you will never be all alone

words and music by Jakob Dylan
appears on Breach

(hidden track)

-Rami, Greg, and Jakob are the only three that play on this track. (This is the song that gives Greg the percussion credit in the liner notes for Breach.)

-"Jaffee got the music-box sound from hand-plucking some muted and nonmuted strings and overdubbing some playing with a Celeste (a soft strip of cloth between the hammers and strings) and a small pipe organ.  That combination accounted for just two of the approximately 50 keyboards he used on the album."- 11.26.00 exerpt from Leader Telegram article entitled "Flower Power."
