There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday
Without so much as a word
Somehow
Think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Right now
Check out the Patty Griffin version...she wrote it...it's very raw
My favorite part:
I wished I'd known you
I wished I'd shown you
All of the things
I was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go to work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why
Everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday
Without so much as a word
Somehow
Wanna grab a hold
Of that little songbird
Take her for a ride
To the top of the world
Right now
