Songbird Music and Lyrics by Brian Thomas Songbird, sing me a song The prettiest melody that I've ever heard I've got a pencil and paper If you write the tunefulness I'll write the words Make it a song about love A song about beauty or long ago times Songbird, sing me a song You find the motifs and I'll find the rhymes Songbird, now we are two I'll find a harmony to go with your song My voice isn't as lovely But if you will let me I'll sing right along Let's sing of myths and of legends Of stories once told by the soft firelight Songbird, I am not tired Let's sing together from morning 'til night All of my cares are gone Now as I learn your song The workaday world's far away Watch as they come and go Rush around to and fro Songbird, with you I will stay Songbird, don't fly a way How will I know what to sing when you've gone I wish that I was a songbird Making up melodies, waking the dawn I'd sing of clouds on the air Of things that I'd seen as I floated up there Songbird, where have you gone? All I can sing of is stories and legends Of hopes and of dreams Of suffering, beauty, faith in the unseen Of all that I'll be and all that I was Of dancing, candlelight, heartbreak and love Songbird, where is your melody?
