Troublebirds lyrics

Oh, troublebirds been flying

flying way too low

troublebirds been whispering.

Telling me I should let go

troublebirds been singing

stories I don't want to know

oh baby they've been flying here way too long.

Troublebirds been whispering about another girl

telling me she's waiting

always knocking on your door

as much as I am feeling it's in our love I belong

those troublebirds been flying here too long.

All I did was pray

for them to fly away

but they kept on coming back

and caught me on my way.

If I may cross you

if you may fail

you know the troublebirds

oh they're the ones to blame.

The love I had was broken

the love I had was slow

the love I bear was hungry

it ate you whole, I know.

Crept up like a fever

and turned me weak and cold

come what may

you know I loved you so.

I might come back one morning

or I might dare to go

my questions stay unanswered

because the troublebirds don't know.

They sing to me in melodies

only trouble notes can bring

as long as they keep flying here I sing.

You know your name is carved

way deep in my soul

and there's nothing I'm afraid of

after loving you so long.

And at the judgement day

I'll be standing strong

after loving you

even god couldn't do me more wrong.

Don't ever let me down

I'm afraid

the birds are here

but one day they'll fly away
