But She Still Sings
© 2013 by Michael JerlingFrom the album Halfway Home
She's not a pretty bird But she still sings Sometimes she sings alone Weightless and windblown Out on a limb And oh so far from home And oh so far from home Did you hear it? Did you hear it? And once the elm trees Ruled over my street Beneath a leafy crown But when they withered And fell to their knees The naked sun shone down Did you see them? Did you see them? I'm not a pretty bird But I still sing Sometimes I sing alone Wasted and windblown Out on a limb And oh so far from home And oh so far from home And oh so far from home
