Mockingbirds

Lyrics

Devastation, at last, finally we meet After all of these years out here on the street I had a feeling you would make yourself known You came along just to claim your place on the throne And I have been overthrown, overthrown And I thought, if I toed the right lines These mockingbirds won't let me shine Devastation, my door was left open wide You brought me into your heart and you swallowed my pride I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts I made a note to myself, I nearly forgot And now I am over-wrought, I'm over-wrought And I thought, if I toеd the right lines That thesе mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought, if I toed the right lines That these mockingbirds won't let me shine One day, this ground will break And open up for me, I hope it will I hope it will Salutations, at last, down my knee I heard the bugle this morn', the last reveille Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to the helm Now I am overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed And I thought, if I toe the right line These mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought, if I toe the right lines That these mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought, if I toe the right lines These mockingbirds won't let me shine
