Babybird

Wallflowers

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
