Three, four Talking to the songbird yesterday Flew me to a past not far away She's a little pirate in my mind Singing songs of love to pass the time Gonna write a song, so she can see Give her all the love she gives to me Talk of better days that have yet to come Never felt this love from anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone A man can never dream these kind of things Especially when she came and spread her wings Whispered in my ear the things I'd like Then she flew away into the night Gonna write a song, so she can see Give her all the love she gives to me Talk of better days that have yet to come Never felt this love from anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone

Songbird sings from the heart Each word can tear you apart I sing, you sing along You find your life in my song When you need the strength to carry on You've got me to turn to With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring They've helped you be strong now The song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Who sings for songbird Sometimes when I'm all alone I sing my saddest song Lonely and no one can see This time the song is for me I can touch your secret place inside And still you don't know me With the songs that I sing And the magic they bring You've learned to be strong now My song sets you free But who sings to me I'm all alone now Where is my songbird Where is my songbird Who sings his songs for me

There are places that I remember You sung in the night And it turned into day Well they're saying That you have gone quiet They say that you hide your love away But they don't know you The way that I know you With your little vices They are fencing you in And all of the others Those girls and their circles If you could see in their eyes When you start to sing You're a songbird And we ain't seen nothing We ain't seen nothing Little songbird Don't hide it away Show your heart to the world And never stop singing Don't you ever stop singing One of these days You'll believe when we say You're a songbird God made you that way Time changes things It moves like a freight train And I know that time Hasn't always been kind Oh and all of the others Those boys and their circles and their circles again If they could see the fire in your eyes Every time that you sing You're a songbird And we ain't seen nothing We ain't seen nothing, nothing at all Little songbird Don't hide it away Show your heart to the world And never stop singing Don't you ever stop singing One of these days You'll believe when we say You're a songbird God made you that way He made you that way So show us what you're made of Show us what you're made of And one of these days You'll believe when we say You're a songbird God made you that way

Only a fool would step away from this The song so sweet on the siren's lips How do you lie straight with a viper's tongue? I'm at a loss to explain Just how easy you found me to replace Now that the naked truth is out on display Could you explain why did you gravitate To somethin' about to break Take what you need to take Just silently walk away How could you be so reckless? Can you explain How could you be so reckless? Three time lucky, you might admit See and speak and hear no evil Guess I thought I could just keep stumblin' back in I'm at a loss to explain Just how easy you found me to replace We were free fallin' out into nothin' anyway Could you explain why did you gravitate To somethin' about to break Take what you need to take Just silently walk away How could you be so reckless? Can you explain How could you be so reckless?

Up so early feel so bright I didn't get much sleep last night Freight train rattled through my head A whistle blowing love is dead Is dead Heart attacked by fear and doubt Won't be long 'til the truth comes out First impressions never last Lover's bonds they hold so fast Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight I've never heard the warning bell And I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well Welcome swallows dip and swing Take their cue from the slightest thing Rolling fog into my room Why d'you give up on me so soon? So soon Restless future burning bright The past is holding on so tight I've never heard the warning bell And I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well Why d'you give up on me so soon? D'you give up on me so soon? I just wanna wish you well I just wanna wish you well

At the end of my days when I'm called to go Into the open arms of the Holy Ghost To have lived such a life as I have known Fortune follows me, but I'm brave no more For my great mistakes I will surely pay I'm running low and the devil is on my trail When fate delivers me all I'll ask it for Is a place to rest and shelter for my soul Oh if I could spend my days Free from the prison of your gates Then I could die a happy man Oh if I could spend my days Free from the shadow of my name Then I could die happy man When I am released from this mortal load I'll take my leave but I don't wanna go When fate delivers me all I'll ask it for A place to rest and shelter for my soul

If I played in a rock n roll band And I didn't disappoint you again Would you take back this Low down ramblin' man Cos we were so young and proud The first time that I let you down The look upon your face is All that I see now And I could list a thousand things That'd make me take you back again But I don't really need you half as much As I did then Cos we were so young and proud The first time that you let me down The look upon your face is All that I see now I waited out on your street Between Maple and 83 It wasn't really anything but Bittersweet Waited there all night long Digging my nails into my palms Waited for a light to come on Waited for your light to guide me home I am a big boy now Don't have to be hangin around I probably would have let you down again Anyhow And I am a big girl now And I don't want you hanging around You probably would have let me down again Anyhow You probably gonna let me down again Anyhow
