Come back babybird
With your dirty wings in tatters
Come home where you belong
Nobody knows you better
Now bring back your velvet heart
And weŽll make you brand new feathers
Sleep through the morning light
With your arms around your brother
Babybird
come back home
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, theyŽve turned to leather
IŽll know the reasons why
God let me get older
When all my days are through
And I fly these hills no longer
IŽll lay beneath the stars
And IŽll watch you flying over
Babybird
come back home
Babybird
you were never really on your own
Babybird
come back home
Babybird
you will never be all alone
