I WAIT OUTSIDE DAVY'S LOCAL MART I SEE TOMMY AND BOBBY ON THEIR WAY TO THE PARK

THE WAVE OVER FROM ACROSS THE STREET

THEY'VE STOPPED ASKING ME WHY WE NEVER MEET

THE PREACHER GIVES ME A DOLLAR,SAYS TO GIVE IT TO TOUR MA

TELL HER YOU FOUND IT NOT WHER YOU GOT IT FROM

WE BOTH KNOW WHAT SHES LIKE,SHE'LL BURN IN HELL FOR HER FOOLISH PRIDE

THERES NO SILENCE AS WE WALK THE COUPLE MILES HOME

WHEN YOUR TALKING SO MUCH IT DONT TAKE SO LONG

WITH BOTH SUPPER AND MY SCHOOL WORK DONE

I HEAR YOU CALLING TO ME TO PUT THE KETTLE ON

EVERY NIGHT HER COFFEE GOES COLD 

WHILE SHE FALLS ASLEEP ON THE COUCH

I GET A BLANKET FROM THE ROOM AND TURN THE RADIO DOWN LOW



NITEBIRD,NITEBIRD,I KNOW THE REASON YOU GOTTA WORK

BUT IT DONT MAKE IT ANY EASIER,NITEBIRD WONT YOU COME ON HOME



THE RADIO'S ON YOUR ONLY GONE A WHILE BUT I KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOUR OUT AT NITE

YOU ALWAYS PROMISE ME YOUR COMIN HOME BUT I WONT HOLD YOU TO THAT CAUSE NO-ONE EVER KNOWS

ITS LIKE A PACT,YOU NEVER SAY AND I NEVER ASK

I KNOW YOU WORK DOWNTOWN BUT MOMMA I DON'T KNOW WHEREABOUTS

WHEN I GROW UP WELL BE LEAVING HERE,GONNA TAKE MOMMA WHERE THE AIR IS CLEAR

ILL BE THE DOCTOR SHE WANTED SO BAD,GIVE HER ALL SHE DESERVES 

BUT NEVER HAD

I SEE IT CLESR WHEN WERE ON THE STREETS HOW THE MEN LOOK AT YOU THAT WE MEET

YOU ALWAYS SAY YOU NEVER LONELY,WITH A MAN LIKE ME IM YOUR ONE AND ONLY



NITEBIRD,NITEBIRD,I KNOW THE REASON YOU GOTTA WORK

BUT IT DONT MAKE IT ANY EASIER,NITEBIRD WONT YOU COME ON HOME



I HEAR YOU AND NANNA TALKING LOW,IN THE KITCHEN WHEN YOU FINALLY MAKE IT HOME

SHE WORRIES FOR YOU WE BOTH DO

YOU SILHOUETTE BLOCKS THE LIGHT THAT COMES INTO MY ROOM

'WHAT TIME IS IT MOMMA',YOU SAY ITS LATE AND I SHOULD BE SLEEPIN

YOU PUT YOUR HAND ON MY EYES,@TELL ME YOUR DREAMS SON

AND ILL TELL YOU MINE

AS WE TALK OUR DREAMS BECOME ENTWINED,A FAR OFF PLACE TO LEAVE THE PAST BEHIND

IVE SEEN THEM IN THE HAZY LITE,THOSE TEARS THAT ESCAPE YOUR EYES



NITEBIRD,NITEBIRD,I KNOW THE REASON YOU GOTTA WORK

BUT IT DONT MAKE IT ANY EASIER,NITEBIRD WONT YOU COME ON HOME
