Jesse Winchester - My Songbird lyrics

Your rating:

Songbird in a golden cage
She'd prefer the blue
How I crave the liquor of her song
Poor bird who has done no harm
What harm could she do
She shall be my prisoner her life long

My songbird wants her freedom
Now don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go

O lord, when that jeweler's eye
Peers into my soul
O lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me lord and purify me
Heal me with a word
Lord, I beg a gift I dare no claim

My songbird wants her freedom
Now don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
