White Feather Lyrics - Marillion

When I hit the streets back in '81 

Found a heart in the gutter and a poet's crown 

I felt barbed wire kisses and icicle tears 

Where have I been for all these years? 

I saw political intrigue, political lies 

Gonna wipe those smiles of self-satisfaction from their eyes 

I will wear your white feather 

I will carry your white flag 

I will swear I have no nation 

But I'm proud to own my heart 

I will wear your white feather 

I will carry your white flag 

I will swear I have no nation 

But I'm proud to own my heart 

My heart, this is my heart 

We don't need no uniforms, we have no disguise 

Divided we stand, together we'll rise 

We will wear your white feather 

We will carry your white flag 

We will swear we have no nations 

But we're proud to own our hearts 

We will wear your white feather 

We will carry your white flag 

We will swear we have no nations 

But we're proud to own our hearts 

These are our hearts 

These are our hearts 

You can't take away our hearts 

You can't steal our hearts away 

I can't walk away 

No more
