Songbird

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
