Songbird (fly Me To Sleep) by Dana Fuchs
Songbird (fly Me To Sleep) lyrics
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
