Songbird Lyrics - Singles - Natalie Duncan

It's getting much colder beyond 

the sky's bright light 

I see white smoke fading. 

Upon last summers sun, 

dissolving into honey I let 

my lonely bones speak louder. 

And I can't tell the colour 

of your eyes, but I feel them 

burn a fire through my skin. 

And the rain runs up 

and down my gutters, 

you hang inside me, 

build my sweet ruin. 

Dust rests on my floor and I dance on its dirt, 

this home wasn't made for one. 

Winter falls upon me, so blue and icy chic 

it crawls into my steel heart. 

And the rain runs up and down my curtains, 

with tiny feet that I long to find. 

And I wish I knew you like I knew them, 

you are more beautiful in the rainfall. 

There is solitude on the river, 

she mirrors the dark folk and the haze. 

You run through me and I shiver 

like black ice on my grave. 

Ooh, ooh... 

Its heavy in my blood 

I am no longer light, 

I feel lead in my chest. 

Running by the freight trains, 

I'm hiding with the homely 

in their cardboard beds. 

And I wish I had the touch 

of your hands but I feel them 

running a symphony. 

And I wish I knew you 

like I knew your songs, 

but I'm just a wretch 

resting on your chords. 

There is solitude on the river, 

she mirrors the dark folk and the haze. 

You run through me and I shiver like 

black ice on my grave. 

There is solitude on the river, 

she mirrors the dark folk and the haze. 

You run through me and I shiver like 

black ice on my grave. 

You are my saving grace the songbird 

that lands on my hand, to bring me life. 

I want to cherish you for longer 

than your wings will let you fly.
