Anna Coogan: Music

Mockingbird

Oh my mockingbird
don’t you laugh at me
you don’t know the difference
between love and gravity
you don’t know the difference
between flying and free falling
free falling

Oh my mockingbird
what gives you the right
you sit on your branches all the day and night
when it comes your time to go
you just spread your wings
you spread your wings

and why, why, why
do you wake me every morning and you’re crying
do you wake me every morning and you’re sighing
no, no, no, no you’re just tired

oh my mockingbird
don’t you cry for me
you don’t know the difference being safe and being free
you don’t know the difference between flying and free falling
and everything I do is just free-falling

little bird fly away
