Babybird - Lyrics by The Wallflowers


Lyrics
Come back babybird

With your dirty wings in tatters

Come home where you belong

Nobody knows you better

Now bring back your velvet heart

And we'll make you brand new feathers

Sleep through the morning light

With your arms around your brother


Babybird
come back home

Babybird
you were never really on your own


Now outside faces cry

With the tears of lonesome orphans

And behind every mask
is the face of another

Wherever you have been
wherever you took cover

No arms that pulled you in
could hold you like your mother


Babybird
come back home

Babybird
you were never really on your own


When all my colors fade

And my wings, they've turned to leather
I'll know the reasons why
God let me get older

When all my days are through

And I fly these hills no longer
I'll lay beneath the stars

And I'll watch you flying over


Babybird
come back home

Babybird
you were never really on your own


Babybird
come back home

Babybird
you will never be all alone
