Gild the Lily

[00:36.33] Sitting under the cypress tree I saw a miracle flying high
[00:42.34] I tuned into the song that she was singing
[00:48.73] The melody was an honest friend and it felt like I was learning to fly
[00:54.91] But I fear I'll never know the feeling
[01:01.50] It must be nice (it must feel good)
[01:04.81] To just be heard
[01:08.13] And it might sound a bit absurd
[01:14.08] I'd sing along with the birds
[01:20.16] I'd sing along if I only knew the words
[01:26.63] I'd sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
[01:48.32] Staring into the wishing well has got you feeling a particular way
[01:54.58] You can't stand to see your own reflection
[02:00.90] So toss a penny and close your eyes
[02:03.71] And try to think of something to say
[02:07.34] And don't waste your wishes on perfection
[02:13.87] It must be nice (it must feel good)
[02:17.06] To just be heard
[02:20.29] And it might sound a bit absurd
[02:26.23] I'd sing along with the birds
[02:32.48] I'd sing along if I only knew the words
[02:38.78] I'd sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
[02:45.86] I'd master every verse until my spirit learned to burst
[02:52.14] Into the morning sun
[02:58.24] While my heart is on the run
[03:03.92]
[03:29.05] All the wind in the whistlin' world could whip a whisper any given day
[03:35.07] Just to see if there was anyone to listen
[03:41.16] They say the April rain will fall to resurrect the flowers of May
[03:47.70] You can't know who you love until you miss them
[03:54.38] It must be nice (it must feel good)
[03:57.54] To just be heard
[04:00.57] And it might sound a bit absurd
[04:06.60] I'd sing along with the birds
[04:12.78] I'd sing along if I only knew the words
[04:19.18] I'd sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
[04:27.01]
