Album: Destination Paradise

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
