LYRICS
作词 : Patty Griffin
作曲 : Patty Griffin
I wished I was smarter
I Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way my wife does
I wished it'd been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could've stood
Where you would've been proud
That won't happen now
That won't happen now
There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disppearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow
I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Right now
Top of the world
I don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no guide to
Teach me no lessons
I come home in the evening
Sit in my chair
One night they called me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there
In my chair
There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disppearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow
I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Right now
I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I
Was on the endside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go work in the rain
I don't know why
Don't know why
Cause everyone's singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow
Wanna grab a hold
Of little songbird
And take her for a ride
To the top of the world
To the top of the world
Right now
