Emmylou Harris - Spyboy (Live)

My Songbird

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

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
