I'll Sing it in G Lyrics

Sweet little bird can you sing for me

I like b flat, the way it gets hold of me

Play something real from a Day in your life

As A mother a lover an artist, a wife

I've watched as you take your hard luck

Like a pill that's too big and your throats all dried up

And you're holding my hand asking after my wife

While some others go on, can't I forfeit a life

We could have passed in the street

Carried on living our lives incomplete

But now we're here singing this song

I like b flat but for you, I'll sing it in G

I grew up headstrong on a granite strewn land

My folks could see trouble when I saved the spring lamb

So I moved to the smoke and found the tribe that I loved

The musos, the writers, the clubs and bar staff

I'm sure we met long ago

Over droning guitars, probably said our hello's

Now you're holding my hand, holding on to my life

our stories and songs and hearts all entwined

We could have passed in the street

Carried on living our lives incomplete

And the world may have just carried on

No one the wiser for not hearing this song

When the days seem to drag and the nights are too long

Stay here with me and and we'll play out this song

Like a bird in a mirror, distracted by beauty

I like b flat but for you, oh for you,

Oh for you, Oh for you I'll sing every key
