Songbird - Ellen Benediktson

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

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

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

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

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

Sing me away from here

With words for the broken

You can fly where I cannot fly

Sing for me songbird, sing
