Songbird Lyrics

Ellen Benediktson Songbird

[Verse 1]
Nights wait at the door and they threaten to tear me apart
Quiet, dangerous silence is running away with my heart
So I listen and cling to the sound of a voice in the dark

[Chorus]
Won't you sing for me, songbird?
Sing for the lonely ones
Sing me away from here with words for the broken
You can fly where I cannot fly
Sing for me, songbird, sing

[Verse 2]
Lights, outside the lights no one knows how I fight in my sleep
And I, I have to believe every note in your throat will be sweet

[Chorus]
Won't you sing for me, songbird?
Sing for the lonely ones
Sing me away from here with words for the broken
You can fly where I cannot fly
Sing for me, songbird, sing

[Bridge]
It isn't fair to always lean
To be such a weight on your fragile wings
Come lift me up, you always do
When you...
Would you? Oh, oh

[Chorus]
Sing me away from here
With words for the broken
You can fly where I cannot fly
Sing for me songbird, sing
