Lyrics
My Little Bird's Sweet Song
(c) Vicki Lee
(Intro)
I. Will God smile on me? I feed th' birds.
But, I keep one in a cage.
I love his song. It soothes my soul.
But, what am I capturing?
(Chorus)
So, I set him free, will he come back to me?
Or make it on his own?
Will he leave me here with all a my fears?
I need my little bird's sweet song.
II. Then, I spring th' latch. He takes th' urge.
Have we both just come of age?
Th' nights are long. I know he's cold.
So, where is he harboring?
(Chorus)
III. I awoke this day. I have no words.
As I mumble in a rage.
I know what's wrong. Sleep took its toll.
Th' nightmares, remembering.
(Chorus)
(Tag) Will he leave me here, with all a my fears?
I need my little bird's sweet song.
I need my little bird's sweet song.
I need my little bird's sweet song.
