Lyrics The Jayhawks

The Jayhawks

Bird Never Flies

How can I turn away from your gun

How can I stay here where others would run

And cast the blame

Fan a dying flame

All of my secrets breathe life to my lies

All of my thoughts like the ocean they slide

Along the edge

They linger on the banks

In search of a refuge

Darling don't cry (I won't give you up)

Don't you know why (I won't give you up)

This bird never flies (Bird never flies)

There's night at the end of this heavenless day

There's night at the end that will show me a way

I tell myself

We may still be saved

Darling don't cry (I won't give you up)

Don't you know why (I won't give you up)

This bird never flies (Bird never flies)

Darling don't cry

Don't you know why

This bird never flies

Darling don't cry (I won't give you up)

Don't you know why (I won't give you up)

This bird never flies (Bird never flies)

I won't give you up

I won't give you up

I won't give you up
