Songbirds - Michael Franks, Memphis Bleek

Life read the grooves and your voice

…across the years time travels

Disappeared songbird I hear

…you and my heart unravels

When I consider

…your absence then my smile erases

Sure the Creator creates

…but rarely He replaces

Songbirds as perfect as you

Songbird it’s true

Neighbors in Woodstock

…you played us Perry Como’s cover

Of «Just When I Needed You Most»

…trophies aride as treasures

When I consider

.Your absence then my smile erases

Sure the Creator creates

…but rarely He replaces

Songbirds as perfect as you

Songbird it’s true

Meadowlark’s oriole

Blackbirds and vireos

Warblers in stereo

All

It always saddens me

…yielding to gravity

When even one

…sparrow falls

(Interlude)

What Divine Musician tunes

…the heartbeat of each songbird

If depression deepens blue

…I listen to their songs

What Divine Musician tunes

…the heartbeat of each songbird

If depression deepens blue

…I listen to their songs

Though we can’t explain why

…time conspires to still too soon some songbirds

Time can never tame the

…heart and gem-like beauty of each song

Though we can’t explain why

…time conspires to still too soon some songbirds

Time can never tame the

…heart and gem-like beauty of each song
