"songbirds" as sung by michael franks
Life read the grooves and your voice
...across the years time travels
Disappeared songbird i hear
...you and my heart unravels
When i consider
...your absence then my smile erases
Sure the creator creates
...but rarely he replaces
Songbirds as perfect as you
Songbird it's true.
Neighbors in woodstock
...you played us perry como's cover
Of "just when i needed you most"
...trophies aride as treasures.
When i consider
..your absence then my smile erases
Sure the creator creates
...but rarely he replaces
Songbirds as perfect as you
Songbird it's true.
Meadowlark's oriole,
Blackbirds and vireos
Warblers in stereo
All
It always saddens me,
...yielding to gravity,
When even one
...sparrow falls
(interlude)
What divine musician tunes
...the heartbeat of each songbird
If depression deepens blue
...i listen to their songs.
What divine musician tunes
...the heartbeat of each songbird
If depression deepens blue
...i listen to their songs.
Though we can't explain why
...time conspires to still too soon some songbirds
Time can never tame the
...heart and gem-like beauty of each song.
Though we can't explain why
...time conspires to still too soon some songbirds
Time can never tame the
...heart and gem-like beauty of each song.
