作曲:Clarence Bucaro
He's the finest singer you've ever heard
Pours his heart into every word
Standing on a stage that ain't so tall
Singing for no one at all
And if I was an angel and I'd steal him from this dive
It's dark and lonely in here
And it makes you wanna hide
And some gold doesn't glitter
And some gems never shine
And sometimes no one hears the songbird in the mind
Blue eyed boy was gonna be a star
Should have seen him playing all the air guitar
From his mama's room to the lonely road
She said don't give up and don't let go
Cause a dream is hard to carry
But it might be all you got
And he's paid his dues but he can't get through
And he's not about to stop
And some gold doesn't glitter
And some gems never shine
And sometimes no one hears the songbird in the mind
And after the show I shook his hand
And I watched him as he paid the band
He loaded out and he was gone
But I thought of him all week long
Yeah I wonder where he's headed
Who he's playing for tonight
And if you stumble on him
Would you give him your spotlight
Cause some gold doesn't glitter
And some gems never shine
And sometimes no one hears the songbird in the mine
And sometimes no one hears the songbird in the mine
