Mockingbirds - Grant Lee Buffalo

Devastation at last

Finally we meet

After all of these years

Out here on the street

I had a feeling you would

Make yourself known

You came along

Just to claim your place on the throne

And I have been overthrown

Overthrown

I thought if I towed the right line…

But these Mockingbirds

Won’t let me shine

Devastation my door

Was left open wide

You brought me into your heart

Then you swallowed my pride

I had a feeling you were

Hiding your thoughts

I made a note to myself

I nearly forgot

Now I am overwrought

I’m overwrought

And I thought if I towed the right line

But these Mockingbirds

Won’t let me shine

One day

This ground will break

And open up for me I hope it will

I hope it will

Salutations at last

Down on my knees

I heard the bugle this morn

Blast Reveille

Woke from a dream

Where I was in a terrible realm

All my sails were ablaze

I was chained to the helm

And now I am overwhelmed

I’m overwhelmed

And I thought if I towed the right line

But these Mockingbirds

Won’t let me shine

(Repeat till fade)
