lyrics

I thought you were a crow from down below
I heard you cawing in the trees
But when you flew, I thought I knew
You were a prey bird on the wing

But when you sang
My heart it rang
I know you didn't realize, but
you're a songbird baby, sing

Last week of August, babe, I sat beneath a honey locust
Waiting for a sign from you to me

When in a grove of ash and birch, a fox was waiting in the lurch
And right in time I heard your melody

And when you sang
My heart it rang
I know you didn't realize,
but, you're a songbird baby, sing

When you lie awake at night, you try focus all your sight
to see beyond the stardust into light

They say we're meant to travel far, to deeply ponder who we are
But all I did was strum this old guitar

And then you sang
My heart it rang
I know you didn't realize,
but you're a songbird baby, sing
