Lyrics

Morning Bird

[Verse 1]

How could you?

You are the river

Pour out of this life

[Chorus]

How could you?

You are the morning bird

Who sang me into life every day

Fly away

[Verse 2]

You are the blood of me

The harvest of my dreams

There's nowhere I can find peace

And the silence won't cease

[Bridge]

Nothing's quite how it seems

The ghost of my joy

Won't let me be

[Outro]

If you set me free, I will not run

I will not run

I will not run
