Dana Fuchs - Songbird (fly Me To Sleep) lyrics

rate me

Sipping my coffee just killing time

Turning through the pages one by one in my mind

Saw a child in a daydream, what a beautiful sight

Then I saw an open window and a songbird in flight

Years went by maybe we talked here and there

About things that didn't matter it seemed better

not to care

Wish I would've told you

Your voice soothed my pain

Wish it could have soothed yours now

Yours seems in vain, so I say...

Songbird fly me to sleep, songbird fly me to sleep,

Songbird fly me to sleep, oh songbird fly

Looking back I can see now

what I couldn't see then

Must have known somehow the way this would end

Can't help but wonder when there was ever a choice

But all I wanted to hear then was your sweet

songbird voice, so I'd say...

Chorus

You took a lonely ride to

Get beyond all the shame and tears

What made you decide to

Was there nothing more that could keep you here

In a world that wouldn't hear you

Oh songbird fly

Sipping my coffee just killing time

Flipping through the pages one by one in my mind

Saw a child in a daydream such a beautiful sight

Now she'll dream forever think she'll be alright

Chorus
