Mockingbird Lyrics

Sure do sing a pretty song darlin'

Pretty music, Lord, and pretty words

Like a lark and sweeter than a starlin'

But mostly like a mockingbird

Words that leave your mouth all turn to ashes

They flutter to the ground like falling snow

Make a bed that's soft enough to lie in

And your foot steps are makin' no sound as you go

Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were

Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing I ever heard

The color of desire is a wretched blue

It burns just like the center of a flameMinnie Driver - Mockingbird - http://motolyrics.com/minnie-driver/mockingbird-lyrics.html

It pulls the loosest thread inside your mind

It burns everything, but it calls you out by name

Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were

Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing I ever heard

The devil stole the wings from a poor angel

They grew into the skin upon his back

Now half of his heart for me it beats and the other half just repeats

The things I?m feeling for my mockingbird

My, my, my, my, my mockingbird

Mockingbird, you just sound like what you said you were

Mockingbird, you were the sweetest thing I ever heard
