Gild the Lily

歌詞

Sittin' under the cypress tree, I saw a miracle flyin' high I tuned into the song that she was singin' The melody was an honest friend and it felt like I was learnin' to fly But I fear I'll never know the feelin' It must be nice It must feel good To just be heard And it might sound a bit absurd I'd sing along with the birds I'd sing along if I only knew the words I'd sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words Starin' into the wishin' well has got you feelin' a particular way You can't stand to see your own reflection So toss a penny and close your eyes and try to think of somethin' to say And don't waste your wishes on perfection It must be nice It must feel good To just be heard And it might sound a bit absurd I'd sing along with the birds I'd sing along if I only knew the words I'd sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words I'd master every verse until my spirit learned to burst Into the mornin' sun While my heart is on the run All the wind in the whistlin' world could whip a whisper any given day Just to see if there was anyone to listen They say the April rain will fall to resurrect the flowers of May You can't know who you love until you miss them It must be nice It must feel good To just be heard And it might sound a bit absurd I'd sing along with the birds I'd sing along if I only knew the words I'd sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
