Songbird (Sing Your Song) - for Lucy Jarrett - demo

Written and performed by Stephen Picton (2019) Songbird sing your song for us, Oh songbird sing your song. Songbird, your friends long to just See you where you belong: Singing from the highest rooftop, Song so sweet to greet the dawn, Songbird sing a song to lift Our spirits in the darkest storm. Songbird I first heard you singing From so many miles away, Still to me your song seemed clear and bright; On the ether words came winging To me at the break of day And sang to me in dreams all through the night. Songbird, my friend told me fortune Stole your golden song, It’s seldom pretty things escape His magpie’s eyes for long, But rest awhile and when you’re rested You can search each magpie’s nest And let each leaden sunrise With your golden song once more be blessed. Songbird though you may not know it, Your song touched so many hearts, Some you may not even know are there; So songbird in your hour of need Be touched by all their healing thoughts That fly to you on wings soft as a prayer. Songbird sing your song for us, Oh songbird sing your song. Songbird, your friends long to just See you where you belong: Singing from the highest rooftop, Song so sweet to greet the dawn, Songbird sing a song to lift Our spirits in the darkest storm.
