Artist/Band: Emmylou Harris
Lyrics for Song: My Songbird
Lyrics for Album: Songbird: Rare Tracks And Forgotten Gems [2007]



(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...
