Kate Rusby - The Mocking Bird lyrics

I can see that mocking bird For years he has followed Now I don't believe a word I can see that mocking bird I know he'll never leave Though his taunts can't hurt When he flies, he's singing lies And when he files, he's singin' lies... He will never leave my side Brave though he is I know the countless times He tried He will meet my fear and pride I know he'll never leave And I cannot hide But when he flies, he's singing lies And when he files, he's singin' lies... I can see that bird of shame I won't be ruled by anger And I won't play the game I can see that bird of shame I'm stronger than that now I won't bear the blame But when he flies, he's singing lies And when he files, he's singin' lies... I can see that mocking bird For years he has followed Now he's seen, but never heard I can see that mocking bird I know he's there behind And his taunts can't hurt But when he flies, he's singing lies And when he files, he's singin' lies... In his bird disguise, he's singing lies He'll make you fly, by singin' lies...
