D
Come back baby bird
G
With your dirty wings in tatters
Bm
Come home where you belong
A
Nobody knows you better
D
Now bring back your velvet heart
G
And we'll make you brand new feathers
Bm
Sleep through the morning light
A
With your arms around your brother
D G
Babybird come back home
D G
Babybird you were never really on your own
Now outside faces cry
With the tears of lonesome orphans
And behind every mask
is the face of another
Wherever you have been
wherever you took cover
No arms that pulled you in
could hold you like your mother
Babybird, come back home
Babybird, you were never really on your own
When all my colors fade
And my wings, they've turned to leather
I'll know the reasons why
God let me get older
When all my days are through
And I fly these hills no longer
I'll lay beneath the stars
And I'll watch you flying over
Babybird, come back home
Babybird, you were never really on your own
Babybird, come back home
Babybird, you were never really on your own
