The Dana Fuchs Band - Songbird (Fly Me To Sleep) Lyrics
Sipping my coffee just killing timeTurning through the pages one by one in my mindSaw a child in a daydream, what a beautiful sightThen I saw an open window and a songbird in flightYears went by maybe we talked here and thereAbout things that didn't matter it seemed betternot to careWish I would've told youYour voice soothed my painWish it could have soothed yours nowYours seems in vain, so I say...Songbird fly me to sleep, songbird fly me to sleep,Songbird fly me to sleep, oh songbird flyLooking back I can see nowwhat I couldn't see thenMust have known somehow the way this would endCan't help but wonder when there was ever a choiceBut all I wanted to hear then was your sweetsongbird voice, so I'd say...ChorusYou took a lonely ride toGet beyond all the shame and tearsWhat made you decide toWas there nothing more that could keep you hereIn a world that wouldn't hear youOh songbird flySipping my coffee just killing timeFlipping through the pages one by one in my mindSaw a child in a daydream such a beautiful sightNow she'll dream forever think she'll be alrightChorus
