Mockingbird Songtext
von Minnie Driver

You sure do sing a pretty song, darling
Pretty music, Lord, and pretty words
Like a lark and sweeter than a starling
Oh, but mostly like a mockingbird

The words that leave your mouth all turn to ashes
They flutter to the ground like falling snow
Make a bed that′s soft enough to lie in
And your footsteps, they make no sound as you go, oh

Mockingbird
You just sound like what you said you were
Mockingbird
You are the sweetest thing I ever heard


The color of desire is a wretched blue
It burns just like the center of a flame
It pulls the loosest thread inside your mind, oh
It burns everything, but it calls you out by name, oh

Mockingbird
You just sound like what you said you were
Mockingbird
You are the sweetest thing I ever heard
Ooh

The devil stole the wings from a poor angel
They grew into the skin upon his back
Now half of his heart for me beats, and the other half
Just repeats the things I'm feeling for my mockingbird
Oh, my, my, my
My mockingbird


Mockingbird
You just sound like what you said you were
Mockingbird
You are the sweetest thing I ever heard
Ooh
