Megan Slankard - Mocking Bird lyrics

Mocking Bird

If I were a mocking bird

I'd mock you

In soft winds

And silent words

I'd spot you

Like snow blushing in the sunlight

And I'd melt you

Like morning into twilight

If I were a mocking bird

Would you chain me

In view of the endless sky world

From the window

Wind reaches, desperate, through the cage bars

To seize me

And I'd die in your arms

But not your heart

If it please you

Fire flies and so do I

I fly high to hide in flight

Why, I delight in blue sky

It's almost like dying

Mocking bird

I'd fly all around

Top of the world

And never come down

From here

If I were a mocking bird

I'd give you feathers

And my very own blood

And other treasures

Which you keep on your dresser at night

In corner darkness

By the candle that you never light

Though it be moonless

Fire flies, so do I

I fly to hide in flight

Why, I delight in blue sky

It's so much, so much like dying

Against the tide

I'd fly all around

With the wind

And never come down

From here

Fire flies, so do I

I fly high to hide in flight

I delight in windy sky

It's almost so much like dying

Fire flies, so do I

I fly high to ride like kites

Why, I delight in blue sky

It is almost so much like dying

If I were a mocking bird

I'd fly all around

To the top of the world

And never come down

From here
