The Wallflowers - Babybird lyrics

Oh come back babybird with your dirty wings in tatters Oh come home where you belong, nobody knows you better Now bring back your velvet heart and we'll make you brand new feathers You'll sleep through the morning light with your arms around your brother Babybird Now come back home Oh 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 And no arms that pulled you in could hold you like your mother Babybird Now come back home Oh 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 Now 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 Now come back home Now babybird You were never really on your own Babybird Now come back home Now babybird You will never be all alone
