Songbird - Eilen Jewell

Oh songbird in my darkest night

You sing so sweetly I can’t be afraid

Over my path your song casts a light

So bright, so real I won’t lose my way

I set true north by you

And so all directions too

Songbird what did I do before you

What did I do before you

Oh songbird in my weariest day

A few clear notes is all I need

And I see without warning a precious ray

Of magic in each ordinary thing

You illuminate, renew

Take the sad out of the blue

Songbird what would I do without you

What would I do without you

How’d you get so strong, such a little thing

Is it your song that makes you brave

My whole world rests on those tiny wings

But you don’t seem to mind the weight

I set true north by you

And so all directions too

Songbird what did I do before you

What did I do before you

You illuminate, renew

Take the sad out of the blue

Songbird what would I do without you

What would I do without you
