Melissa Kassab - Nightjar

I see you flying little bird why do you fly so low
I see you flying little bird why do you fly so low
I see you at your mother’s feet why are you hiding so
I see you at your mother’s feet why are you hiding so
Clap your wings in the open woods wake me softly with you churring trill
When the tide is high and you play hide and seek
Behind the sand dunes (behind your gold mine)
But now I’m back from my wandering
And I will stay a while
You know I love you so
I’m sorry little brother I was gone too long
I want you to know

That every time you say you will you won’t
And every time you say you’ll do something then you don’t
And all the promises you say you’ll keep you don’t keep them
I have to wait outside in the car until you’re done with your girlfriend
And I was a little child you know that I am
I was a little child ou know still I am

We’re eating chicken on the car’s roof with plastic gloves on our hands
And I couldn’t care less about how soft is your new girlfriend’s skin
The you threw my favorite CD out the car window
It was a bad idea it made me sad you know
And here I am you see
I’m not asking for too much love just your sympathy
I just want you to look me in the eyes sometimes
And not just tell your friends oh look that’s my girl yea I’m so proud
Now I’m all grown up but still you don’t know me
It doesn’t seem you see me as a mystery

Ooooh…

But still you climbed up the mountain
To put away the melting snow
That was stuck around my wrists

I forgive you you know
