Mocking Bird Lyrics - Megan Slankard

If I were a mocking bird 

I'd mock you 

In soft winds 

And silent words 

I'd spot you 

Like snow blushing in the sunlight 

And I'd melt you 

Like morning into twilight 

If I were a mocking bird 

Would you chain me 

In view of the endless sky world 

From the window 

Wind reaches, desperate, through the cage bars 

To seize me 

And I'd die in your arms 

But not your heart 

If it please you 

Fire flies and so do i 

I fly high to hide in flight 

Why, I delight in blue sky 

It's almost like dying 

Mocking bird 

I'd fly all around 

Top of the world 

And never come down 

From here 

If I were a mocking bird 

I'd give you feathers 

And my very own blood 

And other treasures 

Which you keep on your dresser at night 

In corner darkness 

By the candle that you never light 

Though it be moonless 

Fire flies, so do i 

I fly to hide in flight 

Why, I delight in blue sky 

It's so much, so much like dying 

Against the tide 

I'd fly all around 

With the wind 

And never come down 

From here 

Fire flies, so do i 

I fly high to hide in flight 

I delight in windy sky 

It's almost so much like dying 

Fire flies, so do I 

I fly high to ride like kites 

Why, I delight in blue sky 

It is almost so much like dying 

If I were a mocking bird 

I'd fly all around 

To the top of the world 

And never come down 

From here
