lyrics

Inspiration is just a word these days
I've grown so tired and I'm too broke to run away
Still I tell myself when I play my songs
That I can take the stage
I let the feeling slip away

In conversation my tongue ties up my mind
And there's no sensation when I let my fingers glide
Across these strings, I only hear mistakes
Every word I set is out of place
And the clock is showing me its face

She sings the blues, late, late, late at night
On the balcony upstairs dressed in white
It pulls me through, 'cause I've been wasting light
But her voice, it seems to pull me back to life
Well was it you, or can I hold her close
As I try to sing along
As I try to sing along

I lay down this river
Where once I came to pray
I would find my spirit here
But now those ghosts have gone away
And in this night, well they always hide
In the darkness which I've been trying to fight
Along with my guiding light

A songbird from a midnight glass of wine
Seems so tired but still she is so kind
Could she be mine
Ooh, songbird be mine

She sings the blues, late, late, late at night
On the balcony upstairs dressed in white
It pulls me through, 'cause I've been wasting light
But her voice, it seems to pull me back to life

Well was it you
Or can I hold her close
As I try to sing along
Was it you
My songbird sings the blues, ooh
My songbird sings the blues, ooh
My songbird sings the blues, ooh
My songbird sings the blues
So I can too
Songbird Baby Blues
