Left Banke - Sing Little Bird Sing Lyrics

Sing
little bird sing
carry the song
like it was your own

Smile
little bird, grin
no one along
will be alone

I'll sing you a song
that's travelled through time
for ten thousand years

and if I'm not wrong
it's your song and mine
may I dry your tears?

I hasten to please
tell me I may
sing me one time

I fall to my knees
singing your song
and offering mine

I'll stay to your side
and travel by night
to far away sands

I'll cast off my pride
with one song inside
a heart in my hands

Sing
little bird sing
light up the sky
the way that you do

I won't say a word
plead through my eyes
I'm pleading with you

I'll sing you a song
that's travelled through time
for ten thousand years

and if I'm that wrong
it's your song and mine
and I'll dry your tears
