lyrics

Springtime was easy, everything’s green and bright
Gathered the branches, built you a nest
Summer was blooming, everything bends towards the light
And little by little turned golden and red

I’m never ready when the cold comes around
To close all the windows, button things down
But your heart was skyward, your place was southbound

Hey little songbird, you flew away little songbird
I always knew that you would come back when the cold cleared
Oh little starling, I didn’t know, didn’t hardly
How I would miss you in the mornings, it’s so quiet here…

Beginnings are simple, none of the cracks have shown
Everything’s possible, everything’s fair
You get to the middle, that’s when your cover’s blown
Some days you make it on a wing and a prayer

Hey little songbird, you flew away little songbird
I always knew that you would come back to me somehow
And oh little starling, I didn’t know, didn’t hardly
How I would miss you on the dark days but it's bright now
It's alight now

Isn’t it always the way, that after a few weeks of gray
You feel like the sun is gone for good
Oh it was never the time, or it was never the place
To do all the things I thought I would
But I had your song in my head
It wasn’t gone, it wasn’t dead
It just had to make it’s way back north

Hey little songbird you flew away little songbird
I always knew that you would come back to me somehow
