Mockingbird is singing

What’s he singing for?

It’s nowhere near the daybreak

I can’t sleep anymore.

Pacing makes me restless

No money for the rent

My man got mad and he slammed the door

I don’t know where he went.

Id’ve never guessed that I’d be left alone at 3am

I wonder if he’ll come back again.

 

You never know what is waiting round the bend,

What you’ve gotta let go of, let out and let in

The dark of night, just can’t see what’s down the road

What can you do if you know you don’t know

What’s around the bend.

 

It’s cold here in the kitchen

Can’t believe I’m still awake.

My favorite cup slipped from my hand

I stood and watched it break.

Making a mosaic

From shards of shattered glass

Sure can’t tell the future

From the fragments of my past.

Just outside the window sings a mockingbird

He’s singing every song that he’s heard.

 

 

You never know what is waiting round the bend,

What you’ve gotta let go of, let out and let in

The dark of night, just can’t see what’s down the road

What can you do if you know you don’t know

What’s round the bend

 

Let it loose, let it shine

Let it take its own sweet time

Let the daylight come again

Let it slip, let it slide

Let it spin me on this ride

Who knows what’s around the bend?

 

Just outside the window sings that mockingbird

Singing every song that he’s heard.

 

You never know what is waiting round the bend

What you’ve gotta let go of, let out and let in

The dark of night, just can’t see what’s down the road

Mockingbird singing like there’s something he knows

You never know what he’s hearing in the sky

Is he singing for someone, or questioning why?

Does he know what is waiting round the bend?

What to let go of, let out or let in?

 Just let it go, you never know

Let it loose, let it shine

Let it take its own sweet time

Let the daylight come again

Let it slip, let it slide

Let it spin me on this ride

Who knows what’s around the bend ?

Let it loose, let it shine

Let it break this heart of mine

Let the daylight come again

Let it slip, let it slide

Let it spin me one more time

Who knows what’s around the bend?

 

Let it loose

Let it shine

Let it take its own sweet time

Let the daylight come again

Let it slip

Let it slide

Let it spin me on this ride

Who knows what’s around the bend

 

Let it loose

Let it shine

Let it break this heart of mine

Let the daylight come again

Let it slip

Let it slide

Let it spin me one more time

Who knows what’s around the bend….
