Songbird Lyrics

Songbird with your bones of dust
Your wiry notes, your cage of rust
Sing your sweet sad song for us
Sing for us

Shadows with your quiet dread
Your sins unspoke, your guilt unsaid
Cast your shield across our bed
Across our bed

Fortune with your bitter race
Your trembling poise, your bumbling grace
Turn to us your smiling face
Turn to us

Whiskey with your endless sorrow
Love me today, curse me tomorrow
Give us your courage now to borrow
Give to us

Songbird with your bones of dust
Your wiry notes, your cage of rust
Sing your sweet sad song for us
