Winter wren, silver swallow,
Can you keep a secret?
Little bluejay, tiny finch,

Shhh,

Songbird.

Shhh.

Can I trust you, little songbird, little songbird?

Can I trust you,
little Wren?

Will you wrap my secrets in your morning songs?
Slip them into silent calls?

Can you quiet my cries,
Little songbird?
Or sing louder with your lies?

Shhh,

   Songbird.

   Shhh.

I am  f a l l i n g  apart, no one cares,
Will you give me your wings when I'm falling in the air?

Please,
Songbird,

Will you sing?

When I'm cold as winter,
And still as stone,
Will you fill my pillow full of flowers, and feed me seeds and berry?
Will you burn your nest to keep me warm,
And fill me up with sherry?

Can I trust you little songbird?
Can I trust you little Wren?

Help.

I'm lost in my own head.

Ha La, did and da,

Shhh.

Songbird,

Shhh.

Hmm. La. Listen hard.

Shhh.

Songbird,

Shhh.

Hmm. La. Didlay da,

Shhh,

Shhh,

Shhh.

Can you keep a secret?

La, la, did and da,

Oh, songbird,

Won't you sing?
