Mockingbird Again

I haven't felt myself today

I think I've missed the bus

Smell the difference since it's rained

I'm not worrying so much

If I don't work out who I am

I'm turning to the bible

And I'll never play the mockingbird

Again

Golden river from the sun

I need your Midas touch

Protect me from this magic spell

That took me out to lunch

If I don't work out who I am

I'm turning to the bible

And I'll never play the mockingbird

Again

And I looked to the past

And I looked to the future

Everybody wants to be

A significant part of history

But very few are likely to succeed

The birds sing frantic lullabyes

As I take the short cut home

I stand and wave to Emillie

She's begging me to come

If I don't work out who I am

I'm turning to the bible

And I'll never play the mockingbird

Again
