Lyrics Michael Franks – Songbirds
Text:
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
What Divine Musician tunes
The heartbeat of each songbird
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
