Is this wicked word
Too bad to be spoken?
You let the heart attack in
One taste and it's broken
Then the little bird sang
But the world couldn't bear it
And the song that it sang
Made me so aware that


We lost something, babe
So only come if you wanna
Make me work for it, babe
I'm not getting any younger
And the little bird sang
And the world couldn't hear it
And the song that it sang
Made me so aware that


Daddy, take down your sorrow
Cat's eye blue sky let go
Let the light of the world open your eyes
Cash that check tomorrow
Same damn talk, it's real though
Let the light of the world open your eyes

Been a shipwreck, babe
I sank 'cause I've seen it
I ain't perfect, baby
You can hear when I'm singing
Little bird on the wing
Almost too quiet to notice
I'll follow the thing
That makes me so aware


Daddy, take down your sorrow
Cat's eye blue sky let go
Let the light of the world open your eyes
Cash that check tomorrow
Same damn talk, it's real though
Let the light of the world open your eyes

Daddy, take down your sorrow
Cat's eye blue sky let go
Let the light of the world open your eyes
Cash that check tomorrow
Same damn talk, it's real though
Let the light of the world open your eyes
