The Dana Fuchs Band - Songbird (Fly Me To Sleep) lyrics

Sipping my coffee just k**ing 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 k**ing 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
