The Songbird
2006
By Jacinta Whitcome

(G)Song bird (C) carry your (D) love to me
In a (G) boat on the (C) waves of the (D) song that you sing
If I sit (G) still I can (C) feel the (D) touch of your wings
(G)Oh and I will (C) surely fly(D)
Oh yes, I will surely fly

(Emin)Upon the rim a (G) broken window(C) (D)
(Emin)In a building on the (G) edge of town(C) (D)
(Emin)sit a song bird of (G) black and yellow(C) (D)
(G) Trilling in the (C) lightness of sound(G)

(G)Song bird (C) carry your (D) love to me
In a (G) boat on the (C) waves of the (D) song that you sing
If I sit (G) still I can (C) feel the (D) touch of your wings
(G)Oh and I will (C) surely fly(D)
Oh yes, I will surely fly

(Emin)And whenever she tries to fly
Her wings flutter as she jumps from side to side
Still her song will never become a bellow
Her song is her freedom you can’t hold this bird down

(G)Song bird (C) carry your (D) love to me
In a (G) boat on the (C) waves of the (D) song that you sing
If I sit (G) still I can (C) feel the (D) touch of your wings
(G)Oh and I will (C) surely fly(D)
Oh yes, I will surely fly

Watching this struggle
I wonder should I leave it to chance
But I’d rather learn from a bird how to sing
Than teach ten thousand birds how not to dance

(G)Song bird (C) carry your (D) love to me
In a (G) boat on the (C) waves of the (D) song that you sing
If I sit (G) still I can (C) feel the (D) touch of your wings
(G)Oh and I will (C) surely fly(D)
Oh yes, I will surely fly
