Songbird
Never, Never, Never had so far to travel
Through the dust and the gravel
and through the green forest that covers the land.
And that is what is always calling me onward
Leave you only with fondness
and thanks for your kindness as I take both your hands.
A beautiful songbird is singing to me
So sweet and so bonnie is she
that the flowers turn to greet her
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
for the very first time
would you me a true lover of mine?
Never, never, never had so much to utter
but a spell in the gutter can work on the tongue
keep it still in the head
We could talk the back legs off all of the horses
in all of the stables and I wish I were able
and I wish I could stay
But a beautiful songbird is singing to me
So sweet and so bonnie is she
that the flowers turn to greet her
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
for the very first time
would you me a true lover of mine?
Never, never, never had so much to offer
so why must we suffer
and why must it always feel this hard?
When the sun is out the grass is greener
the sweet pea and camelia
the moss and the blossom that maketh your bed.
A beautiful songbird is singing to me
So sweet and so bonnie is she
that the flowers turn to greet her
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
for the very first time
would you me a true lover of mine?
Through the dust and the gravel
and through the green forest that covers the land.
And that is what is always calling me onward
Leave you only with fondness
and thanks for your kindness as I take both your hands.
A beautiful songbird is singing to me
So sweet and so bonnie is she
that the flowers turn to greet her
And if I were to meet you tomorrow
for the very first time

Never, never, never had so much to utter

keep it still in the head
We could talk the back legs off all of the horses

And if I were to meet you tomorrow
