Love song for songbirds, featuring Samantha Parton of the Be Good Tanyas

lyrics

BY YOUR SIDE

I hear that music again.
Must have come in through your window
This love somehow found its way in.
Asked it to leave but it won’t go
But if you decide this little verse can stay
I’ll play along and make it last all day.
When I see you again,
Songbirds fly into windows
The right words might find a way in
So I’ll tell you everything I know.
And if you can help me get the story right
I’ll sing that song and make it last all night.
And when you open up your eyes,
I’ll be by your side.
I heard that songbirds never die,
It’s true, I wouldn’t lie.
When I see you again
All my senses crowd to the windows.
Try, but I can’t hold it all in
You know it’s hard to hide how my love grows.
And if you will let this feeling come again,
I’ll write a song with you that never ends.
And when you open up your eyes, I’ll be by your side
I heard that songbirds never die, It’s true, I wouldn’t lie,
I couldn’t lie to you, Even if they do...
And when I see you again (I’ll be by your side)...
