Songbird - Tom Powell

Sat on the kerb, he had coins in a hat
Singing his life to the road
I stopped and I listened to the words that he sang
He sang "Goodbye my sweet Rock n' Roll"

That man's a musician, he plays a guitar
And sings with a voice full of soul
Hands are unclean and there's dirt in his hair
He sang grow up boy but never grow old.

On the roadside x3
Like me

I sat on the kerb and I talked to that man
I asked him "Why sit here alone?"
He said "I've been wandering all over this land...
In search of my sweet rock and roll.

I woke up one morning, she'd gone from my arms
Replaced by the sound of machines
I hope that she'll hear me singing in town
And she'll find her way back to me.

On the roadside x3
With me"

Smoking like a chimney a hole burning deep in his chest
Walking through the town a weight on his back as he steps away.
Voice like a songbird his sound is as soft as the spring.
As he holds his guitar the world stops as he sings...

On the roadside x3
With me
On the roadside x3
Like Me
