about

Mockingbird: With a rainbow looking down and clear skies ahead, always keep the storm in your rear view mirror... There is still hope for the hopeless, and the evocative atmosphere is spine tingling.

lyrics

Well I try to be as bright as a rainbow
Arcing my way across the sky
Slide down me to your pot of gold

And I try to be a light as a feather
Don't worry about the weather close my eyes
The wind will take me where I want to go

Black as night and still he sings
A flash of white as he takes wing
But the mockingbird won't sing for me

Well I work as hard as I can to be smarter
Hoping if I do what I oughtta do
Then everything will turn out right

And I drive day after day going nowhere
Doing my best to always remember
How to get home again

Black as night and still he sings
A flash of white as he takes wing
But the mockingbird won't sing for me

And I sing along with the radio
Beating out a rhythm on the steering wheel
With the palm of my hand

And I pray that I will sleep when the night comes
Instead of worrying about everything I've done
That can't be undone again

Black as night and still he sings
A flash of white as he takes wing
But the mockingbird won't sing for me

Well the birds spread out across the field
Looking for a meal after the rain has come
And the sky has been washed clear

And I watch and marvel at the joy
And grieve for the boy who is still lost
And can't find his way home again

Black as night and still he sings
A flash of white as he takes wing
But the mockingbird won't sing for me
Still the mockingbird won't sing for me
