lyrics

Birdsong
By C. Brooks

It’s not first light and well past dawn
The kids are downstairs with the TV on
I sit up in bed to carry on,
And better hear the birdsong

April’s grey, the softest light
I see through the sleep I couldn’t find last night
Look how beautiful it is outside
But I’m stuck on the inside

Give me a lifeline
Hold me in the daylight
And when the night comes
Won’t you help me sleep

I awoke with this in mind,
Of the disconnect between the light,
And the dark in which I do reside
Oh my god, I’m tired

Give me a lifeline
Hold me in the daylight
And when the night comes
Won’t you help me sleep

The birdsong, blessed sign of spring
Oh, I would do anything
To break from this feeling

Give me a lifeline
Hold me in the daylight
And when the night comes
Won’t you help me sleep
