Three, four Talking to the songbird yesterday Flew me to a past not far away She's a little pirate in my mind Singing songs of love to pass the time Gonna write a song, so she can see Give her all the love she gives to me Talk of better days that have yet to come Never felt this love from anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone A man can never dream these kind of things Especially when she came and spread her wings Whispered in my ear the things I'd like Then she flew away into the night Gonna write a song, so she can see Give her all the love she gives to me Talk of better days that have yet to come Never felt this love from anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone She's not anyone

I wish I knew which button to push Then I'd know how to please you It's sad but true So I'll just listen in down the line While you're busy mixing grape with grain To sedate your pain Songbird You got tales to tell How many times can you describe your livin' hell? The sweeping gesture creates a fuss It's only useful when receivin' praise Relieving no one's pain If you'd let somebody love you just enough You'd have everything you need to break Free from all your pain Songbird You got tales to tell How many times can you describe your livin' hell? I wish I knew which button to push Then I'd know how to please you It's sad but true If you'd let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough Let somebody love you just enough

I was born from love, and my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book of Jesus 'Til I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again And I can still remember him with love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Never mind the forecast 'cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the fury and the broken thunders Come to match my ragin' soul And now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go down the stoney end Mama, let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go I never wanted to go Mama, I never wanted to go

Mother, you had me But I never had you I wanted you But you didn't want me So I, I just gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Father, you left me But I never left you I needed you You didn't need me So I, I just gotta tell you I gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Children, don't do What I have done I couldn't walk But I tried, I tried to run So I, I just gotta tell you I gotta tell you Goodbye Goodbye Mama, mama don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go Daddy, come home Mama, don't go

The sun is shining, the grass is green The orange and palm tree sway There's never been such a day In Beverly Hills, L.A But it's December the twenty-fourth And I am longing to be up North I'm dreaming of white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know Where the tree tops glisten And children listen to hear sleigh bells in the snow Oh, I'm dreaming of a white Christmas With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright And may all your Christmases be white (And may all your Christmases be white)
