03 Songbird

Went down to the water and looked past the breakers
Something in the sky told me it'd never be the same
I looked 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 be
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'm waiting down by the shore

The words of the father they ring in my ear
Go and find you a love and live out all of your years
They say if you're looking, well you'll get what you're calling for
And that everyone has their own price to pay

Oh I don't really know what to believe
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'm waiting down by the shore

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'm waiting down by the shore
