Mockingbird Lyrics & Tabs by Janis Ian
Mockingbird
guitar chords lyrics
If I had a mockingbird for every tear I've shed,
Skies would rain with laughter every time I raise my head.
And every drop would be a tear that fell upon the ground
'Til the waters rose so high that I must surely drown.
And it's cold, cold, cold, and no hint of spring
Yes, it's cold, cold, cold, when the mockingbird sings.
When I used to walk this earth beneath the harvest moon
All the heavens rose above me silent as a tomb.
Now the skies are filled with noise, moonlight wears a shroud
Black enough to bury every broken ugly vow.
Chorus
If I had a mockingbird for every lie I've found
Sky would fill with laughter til it shattered from the sound.
And every piece that fell to earth would land with such a spark,
Finally there'd be flame enough to warm my broken heart.
Sky would fill with laughter til it shattered from the sound.
And every piece that fell to earth would land with such a spark,
Finally there'd be flame enough to warm my broken heart.
Chorus
