Songbird Lyrics

Timothy Seth Avett As Darling Songbird

Songbird, will you sing for me, songbird?
Heaven knows it's been so long, since we have heard a song, as lovely as yours
Songbird, will you sing for me, songbird?
Heaven knows it's been so long, since we have heard a song, as lovely as yours

Black and pink
Should we think of you, in-between?
The pitch black night and the sun rising
Is this where, you live?

Songbird, will you sing for me, songbird?
Heaven knows it's been so long, since we have heard a song, as lovely as yours
Clear and bright
Should I write your melody, on a page?
Treble clef, effortlessly setting you
On the stage
Of this early morning

How I want to keep you safe
But you wouldn't do well in a cage (No, no, no, no)
I am not the only one you sing, for

Songbird, will you sing for me, songbird?
Heaven knows it's been so long, since we have heard a song, as lovely as yours

Songbird, I will understand, songbird
Should the winter interfere
And I don't get to hear
You sing anymore
