One For The Mockingbird

One For The Mockingbird - Cutting Crew

I have learnt through all my past mistakes

Not to let the hurdles sap my energy

Time will tell and time is all it takes

You won't see the bastards

Knock the running out of me

And the band they played one more song

One for the mocking bird

They played one more song

All the tears they fell one by one

All for the mocking bird they fell one by one

Don't be fooled by those who feed you words

They just twist and tighten up the tourniquet

But the sweetest song of all the mocking birds

Couldn't hope to match one note of

Any song we played

And the band they played one more song

One for the mocking bird

They played one more song

All the dreams they broke one by one

All for the mocking bird they broke one by one

What are you hiding from

Why do you lock the door

Open up the door

And the band they played one more song

One for the mocking bird

They played one more song

All the dreams they broke one by one

All for the mocking bird

They broke one by one

I have learnt time will tell

Years will pass tears will fall

Don't be fooled fed by words

Their sweet songs mocking birds
