Songbird Darling Lyrics by Ben David (Folk)

Far off Gaze

2019

Hello, my songbird, darling
I missed your blushing cheek
Did you hear the sky's falling like a tired canopy?
So when the moss is in my quarters and the whitewash has gone brown
Could you hold my road-worn fingers as I relapse into the ground?
And if I've found no streetlight pathways in the love-torn script of life
I'll look to the rolling highway, in between sleepless, thunder nights
Well, yes, I recall your laughter
Like a lightning bolt of grace
An electric flashing photo that throws me back to those days
And if I clench my fists real tightly, oh, I can run back to that place
And though the crashing past's inviting, I can't breathe and no, I can't stay
So I'll sail home on a broken lifeboat
Propelled by those whisper dreams
The waves amongst the starlight drop watercolor scenes
Flights of you and I in a sinking submarine
Headed for those black teeth depths found at twenty-thousand leagues
And there's no roadmap where I'm going
Oh, honey, those compass roses make me bleed
Farewell, my songbird, darling
I'll miss your blushing cheek
Did you hear the wind calling when you left me on my knees?
Oh, please, hit the high-road gently
As you take your final leave
Press upon my lips and send me no more sweet dreams
Oh, I'll never see
