My Songbird
Winchester
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
I just can't let her go.
O Lord, when your jeweler's eye
Peers into my soul
O 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.
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
I just can't let her go.
O Lord, when your jeweler's eye
Peers into my soul
O 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.
