She laughs like she cries and cries like the sky Is about to be earthwardly bound You'd think that she died one tear at a time And her time is about to run out Flying from you is the first thing she'll do Just to see if you'll chase her around She laughs like she cries so imagine the high I could catch when that girl touches down. She don't know why She don't know why Songbirds can't help but to fly And she don't know why She sings like a bird has never been heard While it's resting its wings on the ground But high in a tree when she's just out of reach You can hear her impossible sound Like a voice from above reminds you her love Is a live you should never have found She sings like a bird and I never deserve To hear what she was singing about. She don't know why She don't know why Songbirds can't help but to fly And she don't know why Wings don't need a reason for coming or leaving They don't need a reason to fly They're just made for healing the man to start beating, She ordered them up to the sky I don't know why I don't know why I let her take to the sky Without saying goodbye Songbirds just fly
