Birdsong
(Drums: Ethan Place, Bells: Kate Netzler, BGVs: Katie Giesbrecht)
My bird came home from far away
It seemed there’d never come the day
When I could know the feeling of your love again
My heart’s a cage where you belong
I’ll keep you trapped here in my arms
Now why would you ever want to leave?
What if she’s not the bird I knew when I left her?
I made room to keep you here
If you could grow to love me dear
Then I could get to know who you are now
So please come back and sing with me
This languishing melody
And maybe it won’t seem so desolate no more
Now I’ll sing my lonely love song
Without you, I’ll sing my dismal love song
My seasick love song without you
Wrote it while my bird was in France.
