Songbird Lyrics by Bernard Fanning

Tea & Sympathy

2005

[Verse 1]
I wish I knew which button to push
Then I'd know how to please you, it's sad but true
[Pre-Chorus 1]
So I'll just listen in down the line
While you're busy mixing grape with grain to sedate your pain
[Chorus]
Songbird, you got tales to tell
How many times can you describe your living hell?
[Verse 2]
The sweepin' gesture creates a fuss
It's only useful when receiving praise, relieving no-one's pain
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If you'd let somebody love you just enough
You'd have everything you need to break free from all your pain
[Chorus]
Songbird, you got tales to tell
How many times can you describe your living hell?
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1]
I wish I knew which button to push
Then I'd know how to please you, it's sad but true
[Outro]
If you'd let somebody love you just enough
If you'd let somebody love you just enough
If you'd let somebody love you just enough
If you'd let somebody love you just enough
