Emmylou Harris My Songbird

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
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 lifelong

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
Oh, I beg a gift I dare not claim

[Chorus]
