Bird Never Flies - The Jayhawks
Lyricist:Gary Louris/Ari Hest
Composer:Gary Louris/Ari Hest
How can I turn away from your gun
How can I stay here where others would run
And cast the blame
I 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
