Mockingbirds

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 towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine Devastation my door was left open wide You brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride I had a feeling you were hiding your thoughts I made a note to myself I nearly forgot Now I am overwrought I'm overwrought And I thought if I towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought if I towed the right lines But 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 on my knees I heard the bugle this morn blast reveille Woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm All my sails were ablaze I was chained to the helm And now I am overwhelmed I'm overwhelmed And I thought if I towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought if I towed the right lines But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last) But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last) But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last) But these mockingbirds won't let me shine And I thought if I towed the right lines (devastation at last) But these mockingbirds won't let me shine
