Come back babybird With your dirty wings in tatters Come home where you belong Nobody knows you better Now bring back your velvet heart And we'll make you brand new feathers Sleep through the morning light With your arms around your brother
Babybird come back home 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 will never be all alone
