Lonely Bird

Are you lonely, little bird?
 Is that why you sing your song?
 On your solitary perch
 It must feel you don't belong
 Buried prayers in every verse
 Mourning him since he's been gone
 Making every tree your church
 Lost in winter, eight years long
 Oh, the way he'd sing your name
 When he heard it's you who called
 Wish you'd called him every day
 Some regrets can't be resolved
 Sitting high above the world
 When you're lost, he can't respond
 Daughters laughing with the surf
 Don't they hear your sorrow song?
 We're all lonely little bird
 But our emerald hearts are strong
 Whether every note is heard
 He would want you to sing on
 Are you lonely, little bird?
 Is that why you sing your song?
 On your solitary perch
 It must feel you don't belong
