Lyrics

[Verse 1] I heard a bird singin' in a tree His dead brown eyes were followin' me I stoned the bough and he don't sing now Sing his song to me [Verse 2] Salt from the earth, sweet from the bees Bathe in the river and I dry in the breeze The world doesn't need my company So I'll sing whatever I please [Chorus] Siskin song I make my own If I'm gonna live my life alone Siskin's gone, but he played his part Gave to the girl with the broken heart Singin' the Siskin song [Verse 3] I was born to a reckless girl And a man with money and a place in the world I was the child with the whispered name Sing my song of shame [Verse 4] But I'm not scared of the rocks and stones The dead old leaves, the dry old bones Here in the valley gonna make my home Gonna sing my song alone [Chorus] Siskin song I make my own If I'm gonna live my life alone Siskin's gone, but he played his part Gave to the girl with the broken heart Singin' the Siskin song [Verse 1] I heard Siskin singin' in a tree His dead brown eyes were followin' me I stoned the bough and he don't sing now Sing his song for me [Verse 5] Cause I was born in a watchful town They speak my name, their eyes cast down They don't sing songs when I pass by And they won't cry the day I die [Chorus] Siskin song I make my own If I'm gonna live my life alone Siskin's gone, but he played his part Gave to the girl with the broken heart Singin' the Siskin song Siskin song I make my own I'm gonna live my life alone Siskin's gone, but he played his part Gave to the girl with the broken heart And she was singin' the Siskin song Ooo-oo-ooh Ooo-oo-oo-oo-ooh Oo-oo-ooh Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh
