Of "Flightless Bird, American Mouth":
Have I found you?
Flightless bird,
jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big bill looming
Yet, there are many instances of this song that say "Wedding Version."
It is a lovely song, but also very sad, so I'm not sure what makes people choose this as a wedding song? Unless it's in the tradition of old-fashioned, arranged, give away a girl as chattel...Or do people associate matrimony with sadness and pain more than they realize?
