Songbird

Most everyone I know leaves New York on holidays The Fourth of July Is a little lonely here And a little holy Fireworks out on the river And the boys all drinking beer Sing hallelujah for the year Hallelujah for the year Hallelujah for the year There’s a songbird in my tree I don’t know where it leads But I believe it sings it’s song for me And never sees the things I see Oh and I can dream For the rest of my life For the rest of my life Hideaway The freezing days And when the sun returns I will have learned to sing Your haunting melody You’ll take the notes and harmonize me And bring me back to hallelujah For the rest of my life Hallelujah
