CARLY SIMON lyrics - Songbird

Most everyone I know leaves New York on holidays

The Fourth of July

Is a little lonely here

And a little holy

Fireworks out on the river

And the boys all drinking beer

Sing hallelujah for the year

Hallelujah for the year

Hallelujah for the year



There's a songbird in my tree

I don't know where it leads

But I believe it sings it's song for me

And never sees the things I see

Oh and I can dream

For the rest of my life

For the rest of my life



Hideaway

The freezing days

And when the sun returns

I will have learned to sing

Your haunting melody

You'll take the notes and harmonize me

And bring me back to hallelujah

For the rest of my life

Hallelujah
