Mockingbirds

Grant Lee Buffalo

Davis Station at last, finally we meet


I done all these years out here in the street


I had a feeling you would make yourself known


You came along just to claim your place on the throne


Now I been overthrown, overthrown





Chorus


And I thought if I told the right lies


but these mockingbirds won't let me shine





Davis Station, my door was left open wide


you brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride


I had a feelin' you were hidin' your thoughts


I makin' a note to myself, I nearly forgot


Now I'm overwrought, I'm overwrought





Chorus (2X)





One day this ground will break and open up for me


I hope it will, I hope it will





Salutations at last, I'm down on my knees


I heard the bugle this morning blast revelry


woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm


All my sails were ablaze and I was chained to the helm


Now I'm overwhelmed, overwhelmed





Chorus (4x)
