Babybird

	  		
D 
Come back baby bird 
                G 
With your dirty wings in tatters 
Bm 
Come home where you belong 
      A 
Nobody knows you better 
D 
Now bring back your velvet heart 
                G 
And we'll make you brand new feathers 
Bm 
Sleep through the morning light 
        A 
With your arms around your brother 

D                                G 
Babybird come back home 
D                                              G 
Babybird you were never really on your own 

Now outside faces cry 
With the tears of lonesome orphans 
And behind every mask 
is the face of another 
Wherever you have been 
wherever you took cover 
No arms that pulled you in 
could hold you like your mother 

Babybird, come back home 
Babybird, you were never really on your own 

When all my colors fade 
And my wings, they've turned to leather 
I'll know the reasons why 
God let me get older 
When all my days are through 
And I fly these hills no longer 
I'll lay beneath the stars 
And I'll watch you flying over 

Babybird, come back home 
Babybird, you were never really on your own 

Babybird, come back home 
Babybird, you were never really on your own
