Lyrics

NightBird

Sitting here waiting in the dark,
I can't sleep, I can't even fall apart
Watching the candle flicker as it burns
Shadows on the wall play out my life and all its turns

The world outside seems crazy, like a raging storm
Everybody's running, but no one's going home
And I feel frozen like water in a winter well
Can't draw the bucket up, can't break this weary spell, no

Chorus
Nightbird sing me your song
The one that never changes
Nightbird you've been singing all along
Singing outside these cages
That I might stop, and have you sing inside my heart

Next thing I know, there's a stillness in the room
Light breaks through the window, as the clouds undress the moon
Your pale blue silhouette is pressed against the sky
Your echoes in the valley, they urge my soul to fly

Chorus
Night bird sing me your song
The one that never changes
Nightbird you've been singing all along
Singing outside these cages
Nightbird sing me your song
Nightbird sing me your song
Nightbird sing me your song
That I might stop, and have you sing inside my heart
Sing inside my heart
