lyrics

Little songbird she couldn’t make the fly
Winter were coming and the frost close by
Her wings were cut and her voice was weak
And she stood there looking at the tree
Where all summer she had sung her heart out loud
Where all summer she had torn her heart right out

She had sung to every man who had ever been in her yard
They told her about her beauty and how she'd touched their hearts
All craved for something young and frail
And she trusted when they said she couldn't fail
They didn't care that her wings couldn't bare
Once on her own those frail feathers would fail to bring her anywhere

Once the frost came, lights were lit in the little homes
The harder she tried those cold nights rid her voice of tone
When the last window shut closed, the last melody withered out
Once she remembered all who'd tried to bring her with them home
She fell faster than her tears to the frozen ground
When she saw the last of her kin vanish into the clouds

She had given up all she once held dear
For a taste of something that was never there
The only thing that wasn’t a lie
She was left to wither and die
And the mercy of the spirits of the night
The sviftness by the creatures who rule those long winter nights
