Crying Shame
You cant find me
You cant find me again
You cant drive me
You cant drive me again
Shot down again if its easyer to be alive
Kept on the mend you expected these things to arrive
I cant pretend theres nothing i dont like
I cant pretend
You cant hurt me
You cant hurt me again
You cant kill me
You cant kill me again
Shot down again if its easyer to be alive
Kept on the mend you expected these things to arrive
I cant pretend theres nothing i dont like
I cant pretend
If you listen to me
Ill just drag you down
Im going nowhere again
dont keep
You cant find me again
You cant drive me
You cant drive me again
Shot down again if its easyer to be alive
Kept on the mend you expected these things to arrive
I cant pretend theres nothing i dont like
I cant pretend
You cant hurt me
You cant hurt me again
You cant kill me
You cant kill me again
Shot down again if its easyer to be alive
Kept on the mend you expected these things to arrive
I cant pretend theres nothing i dont like
I cant pretend
If you listen to me
Ill just drag you down
Im going nowhere again
dont keep
My Songbird
(Jesse Winchester)
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 life long
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
O lord, when your jeweler's eye
Peers into my soul
O lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me lord and purify
Heal me with a word
Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim
