Bird Song

Bird Song - Florence + The Machine

Lyrics by：Florence Welch/Dev Hynes

Composed by：Florence Welch/Dev Hynes

Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by

Saw what I'd done he set up a nest outside

And he sang about what I'd become

He sang so loud sang so clear

I was afraid all the neighbours would hear

So I invited him in just to reason with him

I promised I wouldn't do it again

But he sang louder and louder inside the house

And no I couldn't get him out

So I trapped him under a cardboard box

Stood on it to make him stop

I picked up the bird and above the din I said

That's the last song you'll ever sing

Held him down broke his neck

Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget

But in my dreams began to creep

That old familiar tweet tweet tweet

I opened my mouth to scream and shout

I waved my arms and flapped about

But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

I opened my mouth to scream and shout

I waved my arms and flapped about

But I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout

The song was coming from my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth

From my mouth
