She laughs like she cries and cries like the sky
Is about to be earthwardly bound
You'd think that she died one tear at a time
And her time is about to run out
Flying from you is the first thing she'll do
just to see if you'll chase her around
She laughs like she cries so imagine the high
I could catch when that girl touches down.
She don't know why
she don't know why
songbirds can't help but to fly
And she don't know why
She sings like a bird has never been heard
while it's resting its wings on the ground
But high in a tree when she's just out of reach
you can hear her impossible sound
Like a voice from above reminds you her love
is a live you should never have found
She sings like a bird and I never deserve
to hear what she was singing about.
She don't know why
she don't know why
songbirds can't help but to fly
And she don't know why
Wings don't need a reason for coming or leaving
they don't need a reason to fly
They're just made for healing the man to start beating,
she ordered them up to the sky
I don't know why
I don't know why
I let her take to the sky
Without saying goodbye
Songbirds just fly
