[Lyric] Mockingbirds (Paul Dempsey)

Devastation, at last, finally we meet
After all of these years out here on the street
I had a feeling you would make yourself known
You came along just to claim your place on the throne
And I have been overthrown, overthrown

And I thought, if I toed the right lines
These mockingbirds won't let me shine

Devastation, my door was left open wide
You brought me into your heart and you swallowed my pride
I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts
I made a note to myself, I nearly forgot
And now I am over-wrought, I’m over-wrought

And I thought, if I toеd the right lines
That thesе mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought, if I toed the right lines
That these mockingbirds won't let me shine

One day, this ground will break
And open up for me, I hope it will
I hope it will
Salutations, at last, down my knee
I heard the bugle this morn’, the last reveille
Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm
All my sails were ablaze, I was chained to the helm
Now I am overwhelmed, I'm overwhelmed

And I thought, if I toe the right line
These mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought, if I toe the right lines
That these mockingbirds won't let me shine
And I thought, if I toe the right lines
These mockingbirds won't let me shine
