Cuckoo Song

Capo 1 I won’t be your cuckoo, my love Nor a thief on the wing A shameful regret Or a promise on a string And I will follow your heart Until you let me in I’ll never be your cuckoo, my love I won’t be a lesson learned in spring ( Don’t be a cuckoo, my love If you ever want to know The beat of your heart Or the depth of your soul And I will colour my life With the courage that you’ve shown me To never be a cuckoo, my love Oh, I will take this wish and bury it in the sno-o-o-ow The river you didn’t cross Grows deeper every day And for the rest of my life Are you the one that got away? ‘Fore we grow old Will you show me the depths of your soul? Though we clip your wings Well I will build a home with the courage that you have sho-o-o-own So put down your bow and arrow ‘Cause time is on our side And I will be here in the morning If there are fireworks tonight Is this the calm before the storm? The design is in your eyes I’ll never be a cuckoo, my love Oh, I will take this wish and bury it in the snow And I will build a home with the courage that you have shown And I will take this wish and bury it in the snow If you cross this river I’m yours and yours alone
