White bird with a black tail,
Eyes Dark and face so pale,
You know what your future holds over your side of the road,
White bird with a black tail,
You look like an open sail,
Made me look up from my shoes.
To show me what you stand to lose,
White Bird,
White Bird,
With your face so pale
White Bird
White bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird
White bird
With a black tail
White feathers dipped in tar,
It's hard to tell how old you are,
Wonderin' how much you know,
About all of us below,
Half of you is heavenly,
Showin off your purity
The rest of you is from the stream,
Like a land where they both meet
White Bird,
White Bird,
With your face so pale
White Bird
White bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird
White bird
With your face so pale,
White Bird
White Bird
With a black tail...
Eyes Dark and face so pale,
You know what your future holds over your side of the road,
White bird with a black tail,
You look like an open sail,
Made me look up from my shoes.
To show me what you stand to lose,
White Bird,
White Bird,
With your face so pale
White Bird
White bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird
White bird
With a black tail
White feathers dipped in tar,
It's hard to tell how old you are,
Wonderin' how much you know,
About all of us below,
Half of you is heavenly,
Showin off your purity
The rest of you is from the stream,
Like a land where they both meet
White Bird,
White Bird,
With your face so pale
White Bird
White bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird
White bird
With your face so pale,
White Bird
White Bird
With a black tail...

and i also thought it was 'eyes dark' rather than half dark, but maybe thats just me.
what it means i have no idea
Also, I think the line is "Like a lover, they both meet" (meaning the white and the black on the bird come together like a pair of lovers), rather than "Like to laugh where they both meet".
