Rare Bird Lyrics

CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G Em Am D
Rare bird, I know your loneliness
Born into a crowded nest and given away
Solitaire girl, your voice crying in the wilderness
Where suffering brings holiness, at least that's what they say
Rare bird, I wish you good company
Rare bird I know your sorrow
It rings a little hollow with every passing day
It's not fair girl, they want a piece of all of you
To form a line and follow you with every word that you say
Rare bird, I wish you sanctuary
With your razor-wire and pitfalls
My way of climbing walls
And finding where the china dolls are hidden
Words can be misunderstood
My intentions were all good
There's nothing here not worth forgiving
INSTRUMENTAL: G Em Am D Am Em D
I'm not the kind to hover near
Or stand in line to catch your ear
But I just want to get things clear between us
I know how to disappear
And leave by the backdoor dear
Make sure that no one here has seen us
Rare bird, I don't want you to go down
Here on the poor side of town, there's nothing left to say
Just this prayer girl, we'll go on from here unbound
Meet again on higher ground, some uncloudy day
Rare bird, just a little prayer from me
OUTRO: (## repeat and fade to end ##)
Rare bird
Rare bird
Rare bird
Rare bird
