Songbirds Lyrics - Rendezvous In Rio - Michael Franks

"Songbirds" as sung by Michael Franks 

Life read the grooves and your voice 

...across the years time travels 

Disappeared songbird I hear 

...you and my heart unravels 

When I consider 

...your absence then my smile erases 

Sure the Creator creates 

...but rarely He replaces 

Songbirds as perfect as you 

Songbird it's true. 

Neighbors in Woodstock 

...you played us Perry Como's cover 

Of "Just When I Needed You Most" 

...trophies aride as treasures. 

When I consider 

.Your absence then my smile erases 

Sure the Creator creates 

...but rarely He replaces 

Songbirds as perfect as you 

Songbird it's true. 

Meadowlark's oriole, 

Blackbirds and vireos

Warblers in stereo 

All 

It always saddens me, 

...yielding to gravity, 

When even one 

...sparrow falls 

(Interlude) 

What Divine Musician tunes 

...the heartbeat of each songbird 

If depression deepens blue 

...I listen to their songs. 

What Divine Musician tunes 

...the heartbeat of each songbird 

If depression deepens blue 

...I listen to their songs. 

Though we can't explain why 

...time conspires to still too soon some songbirds 

Time can never tame the 

...heart and gem-like beauty of each song. 

Though we can't explain why 

...time conspires to still too soon some songbirds 

Time can never tame the 

...heart and gem-like beauty of each song.
