Megan Slankard - Mocking Bird Lyrics
If I were a mocking birdI'd mock youIn soft windsAnd silent wordsI'd spot youLike snow blushing in the sunlightAnd I'd melt youLike morning into twilightIf I were a mocking birdWould you chain meIn view of the endless sky worldFrom the windowWind reaches, desperate, through the cage barsTo seize meAnd I'd die in your armsBut not your heartIf it please youFire flies and so do iI fly high to hide in flightWhy, I delight in blue skyIt's almost like dyingMocking birdI'd fly all aroundTop of the worldAnd never come downFrom hereIf I were a mocking birdI'd give you feathersAnd my very own bloodAnd other treasuresWhich you keep on your dresser at nightIn corner darknessBy the candle that you never lightThough it be moonlessFire flies, so do iI fly to hide in flightWhy, I delight in blue skyIt's so much, so much like dyingAgainst the tideI'd fly all aroundWith the windAnd never come downFrom hereFire flies, so do iI fly high to hide in flightI delight in windy skyIt's almost so much like dyingFire flies, so do II fly high to ride like kitesWhy, I delight in blue skyIt is almost so much like dyingIf I were a mocking birdI'd fly all aroundTo the top of the worldAnd never come downFrom here
