Mockingbird Lyrics

If I had a mockingbird
For every tear I've shed
The skies would rain with laughter
Every time I raised my headAnd every drop would be a tear
That fell upon the ground
'Til the waters rose so high
That I must surely drownAnd it's cold, cold, cold
And no hint of spring
Yes it's cold, cold, cold
When the mockingbirds singWhen I used to walk this earth
Beneath the harvest moon
All the heavens rose above me
Silent as a tombNow the skies are filled with noise
The moonlight wears a shroud
Black enough to bury
Every broken ugly vowAnd it's cold, cold, cold
And no hint of spring
Yes it's cold, cold, cold

When the mockingbirds singIf I had a mockingbird
For every lie I found
The sky would fill with laughter
'Til it shattered from the soundAnd every piece that fell to earth
Would land with such a spark
That finally there'd be flame enough
To warm my broken heartAnd it's cold, cold, cold
And no hint of spring
Yes it's cold, cold, cold
When the mockingbirds sing
