I went down to the water
And looked past the breakers
And something in the sky told me
It'd never be the same
I look to my sister
Saying, "What have I done?
I've made a mess of this
Song that I've sung"
Now everyone's trying to tell me
How it's supposed to feel
They nod like I'm a child
But they don't even hear me
Oh I will wait for my little songbird
But it's not the right time
So I'll fly out on my own
So if you see my little songbird
Can you tell her I'll wait here
Down by the shoreline
The words of the Father
They ring in my ear
And live out all of your years
And they say if you're looking
Well, you'll get what you come for
And everyone has their own price to pay
Oh, I don't really know what to believe
Oh I'll call out to the world, "Hello, can you hear me?"
Oh I will wait for my little songbid
But it's not the right time
So I'll fly out on my own
So if you see my little songbird
Can you tell her I'll wait here
Down by the shoreline
Oh I will wait for my little songbird
But it's not the right time
So I'll fly out on my own
So if you see my little songbird
Can you tell her I'll wait here
Down by the shoreline
