"Just A Bird" lyrics

"Just A Bird"

Tell me why I hear the curtain calling still
Tell me why time gets away from me so well
If you can do it, I'll give you my salt
Everything right, everything wrong
Everything I kept behind to tell you why
Just come on honey, yeah I know you're tough
And you might be right - not right enough
If you're just burning all that holds you back
That fire's warm but it sure burns fast
Gonna stand where I see the truth
If I can't see it yet, I'm gonna walk till I see it
Through

Tell me why so much to say and have no words
Tell me why sometimes a bird is just a bird
If you can do it, I'll give you my salt
Everything burned, everything gone
Everything I kept behind to tell you why
Just come on honey, yeah I know you're tough
And you might be right - not right enough
If you're just burning all that holds you back
That fire's warm but it sure burns fast
Gonna stand where I see the truth
If I can't see it yet, I'm gonna walk till I see it
Through

(Come on honey, yeah I know you're tough
And you might be right - not right enough
If you're just burning all that holds you back
That fire's warm but it sure burns fast)

(Come on honey, yeah I know you're tough
And you might be right - not right enough
If you're just burning all that holds you back
That fire's warm but it sure burns fast)

(Come on honey, yeah I know you're tough
And you might be right - not right enough
If you're just burning all that holds you back
That fire's warm but it sure burns fast)

Come on honey
