Emmylou Harris - Songbird - Live Lyrics

Lyrics Songbird - Live - Emmylou Harris



Let's see what else we got here
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
Oh, I just can't let her go
Oh, Lord, when your jeweler's eye peers into my soul
Oh, Lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me Lord and purify, heal me with a word
Lord, I beg a gift I dare not 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
