Mockingbird
Sweet little mocking bird
Sitting so high in your tree
Sing your sickly sweet tune
The very same which you stole,
From the little songbird.
The very same whom spent so long
To weave it's song together.
Sweet little mocking bird
Sitting just on my shoulder.
Why do you look down on me
As you sing your beautifully twisted tune,
That which you have stolen from others.
Why are you so cruel as to swipe the notes
Out from their very throats.
Sweet little mocking bird
Sitting on his lonely guitar.
Why must you sing so sweetly to his strums
Why must that sweet mocking tune
Come out from your little beak,
As he strums out his notes
