- My Songbird Lyrics / with translationsSongbird in a golden cage
She'd prefer the blue
How I crave the liquor of her song
Poor bird who has done no harm
What harm could she do
She shall be my prisoner her lifelong
My songbird wants her freedom
Now, don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
Oh Lord, when your jeweler's eye
Peers into my soul
Oh Lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me Lord, and purify
Heal me with a word
Oh, I beg a gift I dare not claim
My songbird wants her freedom
Now, don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
She'd prefer the blue
How I crave the liquor of her song
Poor bird who has done no harm
What harm could she do
She shall be my prisoner her lifelong
My songbird wants her freedom
Now, don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
Peers into my soul
Oh Lord, I am overcome with shame
Take me Lord, and purify
Heal me with a word
Oh, I beg a gift I dare not claim
My songbird wants her freedom
Now, don't you think I know
But I can't find it in myself
To let my songbird go
I just can't let her go
