Sisken Song Lyrics by I Draw Slow

Downside

2008

[Verse 1]
I heard a bird singin' in a tree
His dead brown eyes were followin' me
I stoned the bough and he don’t sing now
Sing his song to me
[Verse 2]
Salt from the earth, sweet from the bees
Bathe in the river and I dry in the breeze
The world doesn’t need my company
So I’ll sing whatever I please
[Chorus]
Siskin song I make my own
If I’m gonna live my life alone
Siskin’s gone, but he played his part
Gave to the girl with the broken heart
Singin' the Siskin song
[Verse 3]
I was born to a reckless girl
And a man with money and a place in the world
I was the child with the whispered name
Sing my song of shame
[Verse 4]
But I’m not scared of the rocks and stones
The dead old leaves, the dry old bones
Here in the valley gonna make my home
Gonna sing my song alone
[Chorus]
Siskin song I make my own
If I’m gonna live my life alone
Siskin’s gone, but he played his part
Gave to the girl with the broken heart
Singin' the Siskin song
[Verse 1]
I heard Siskin singin' in a tree
His dead brown eyes were followin' me
I stoned the bough and he don’t sing now
Sing his song for me
[Verse 5]
Cause I was born in a watchful town
They speak my name, their eyes cast down
They don’t sing songs when I pass by
And they won’t cry the day I die
[Chorus]
Siskin song I make my own
If I’m gonna live my life alone
Siskin’s gone, but he played his part
Gave to the girl with the broken heart
Singin' the Siskin song
Siskin song I make my own
I’m gonna live my life alone
Siskin’s gone, but he played his part
Gave to the girl with the broken heart
And she was singin' the Siskin song
Ooo-oo-ooh
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
