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
