Songbird by The Library Fund Lyrics

ACT ONE:

Let’s go then
Let’s go then
You and I

That movie
Is playing again
Bring your friend
If that’s what he is

Is that what we are?
Are we friends?
They ask and you cry

You’re crying to the kids
On phone calls to the kids
Is this it?
Can we do it for the kids?

You’re still my songbird
You’re still my songbird

ACT TWO:

I think about you now and then
Hope I don’t see you
And hope that I die
Before I face what I’ve done
Before you look me in the eye

If every single second
Could feel like an hour
Then you’d pass me by
We’d never waste our time
If every single mile could just flash before my eyes
I’d come home for a moment, and see what’s left behind

If there’s nothing left to say
Just cry, just cry, just cry
Just cry



My oh my
Wasn’t this it

If you listen
Are you listening
My oh my, wasn’t this it?
My oh my
The plan’s gone to shit


ACT THREE

Let's go to the movies, I’m waiting in your driveway
Watching from sidewalks and talking to the moon
Let's dance in the dark please, invite me to your room
I won’t break your heart, just wanna stand next to you!


You’ll fly into dry heat, come back for air
I wrote you a letter and signed it in cursive
Postmarked with the address of my new apartment

I know that you care, and I’m sorry for it all

Don’t cry on that phone call, don’t say this is it
Don’t tell me we’re finished or there’s nothing left to say
That I’m still your songbird and you’re one call away

Just stand by me today!
Will you?
I wrote you a song… will you listen?
Can I have another day?
You and I, will there be another way?

(whistling)

You’re still my songbird
