Songbird
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I went down to the water
And looked past the breakers
Something in the sky told me
It would never be the same
I looked to my sister saying
What have I done?
I've made a mess of this song that I've sung
Now everyone's tryin' to tell me how it's suppose to be
It's not like I'm a child
But they don'teven hear me
Oh I will wait for my little songbird
But it's not the right time
So I'll fly out on my own
So if you see my little songbird
Can you tell her I'm waiting down the shore
The words of the Father
They ring in my ears
"Go and find you a love and live out all of your years"
And they say if you're looking
Well, you get what you've come for
And that everyone has their own price to pay
Oh I don't really know what to believe
Oh I'll call out to the world
"Hello, can you hear me?"
Oh I will wait for my little songbird
But it's not the right time
So I'll fly out on my own
So if you see my little songbird
Can you tell her I'm waiting down the shore
