Songbird

I went down to the water

And looked past the the breakers

And something in the sky told me

It'd never be the same

I look to my sister

Saying, "What have I done?

I've made a mess of this

Song that I've sung"

Now everyone's trying to tell me

How it's supposed to feel

They nod like I'm a child

But they don't even hear me

Oh I will wait for my little songbird

But it's not the right time

So I'll fly out on my own

So if you see my little songbird

Can you tell her I'll wait here

Down by the shoreline

The words of the Father

They ring in my ear

Go and find you a love

And live out all of your fears

And they say if you're looking

Well, you'll get what you come for

And everyone has their own price to pay

Oh, I don't really know what to believe

Oh I'll call out to the world,

"Hello, can you hear me?"

Oh I will wait for my little songbird

But it's not the right time

So I'll fly out on my own

So if you see my little songbird

Can you tell her I'll wait here

Down by the shoreline

Ooooooohhh

Oh I will wait for my little songbird

But it's not the right time

So I'll fly out on my own

So if you see my little songbird

Can you tell her I'll wait here

Down by the shoreline
