My Songbird Lyrics - Live In 1978 - Emmylou Harris

(Jesse Winchester) 

 

Songbird in a golden cage she'd prefer the blue 

How I crave the liquor of her song 

Poor bird who has done no harm what harm could she do 

She shall be my prisoner her life long. 

 

My songbird wants her freedom 

Now don't you think I know 

But I can't find it in myself 

To let my songbird go 

I just can't let her go. 

 

Oh Lord, when your jeweler's eye peers into my soul 

Oh Lord, I am overcome with shame 

Take me Lord and purify, heal me with a word 

Lord, I beg a gift I dare not claim.

My songbird wants her freedom 

Now don't you think I know 

But I can't find it in myself 

To let my songbird go 

I just can't let her go...
