songbird

I dont know if you sent a songbird my way Or elsewhere But I caught it in the midst of its tracks And found, its words Spoke a language we once knew And I know I'm in no place to say a word But I longed for a chance to stop by, to say I Do care I care always, for the child in you An artist with a battered heart Who dreamt of all the skyscapes And the longing of a home in this world As long as I shall live And even if on separate ways I keep a place for you in my chest Always And God knows if you've found it This home you've yearned so much for I can only wish the best Unless And I know I'm in no place to say a word I've passed so much disgrace I swear I didn't know any better I was busy chasing sunlight In the darkest of all places Believing love awaits I swear I didn't know better And I know this conquest of mine Has scarred the tests of our time I'm sorry I'm throwing all my shame In the name Of a prayer So as long as my doors are open I'll leave a crack ajar In case you choose to wander again I'll have two cups of tea ready And we can talk about the things You've always left unsaid to others If you'd like I understand far plenty if you choose to stray away Out of fear of all mistakes That I wish I could just take back I'll carry on this path I've built Carry on this path you've built We'll carry on Unless Now I'll let your songbird go I hope He'll find you so
