The Morning Bird Lyrics

The morning bird sings a sad song
When the darkness turns to dawn
And though he sounds oh so sweetly
He's singing about defeat
As he's waking me from my sleep

Hey there sunshine show your teeth
This winter weakens my wings
Hey there sunshine smile on me
It's dark and I'm starving for spring

The raven returns from the bare fields
Where the harvest has yet to yield
The fallow ground will not take the seed
There's still plenty of mouths to feed
And yet somehow he continues to sing
And yet somehow he continues to sing

Hey there sunshine show your teeth
This winter weakens my wings
Hey there sunshine smile on me
It's dark and I'm starving for spring

Hey there sunshine show your teeth
This winter weakens my wings
Hey there sunshine smile on me
It's dark and I'm starving for spring

Hey hey sunshine show your teeth
Hey hey sunshine please
Hey hey sunshine smile on me
It's dark and I'm starving for spring

Hey there sunshine show your teeth
This winter weakens my wings
Hey there sunshine smile on me
It's dark and I'm starving for spring

The morning bird sings a sad song
When the darkness turns to dawn
