Songbird

I went down to the water And looked past 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 years 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 songbid 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 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
