Mockingbirds

Grant Lee Buffalo

4

Davis Station at last, finally we meet

I done all these years out here in the street

I had a feeling you would make yourself known

You came along just to claim your place on the throne

Now I been overthrown, overthrown

Chorus

And I thought if I told the right lies

but these mockingbirds won't let me shine

Davis Station, my door was left open wide

you brought me into your heart then you swallowed my pride

I had a feelin' you were hidin' your thoughts

I makin' a note to myself, I nearly forgot

Now I'm overwrought, I'm overwrought

Chorus (2X)

One day this ground will break and open up for me

I hope it will, I hope it will

Salutations at last, I'm down on my knees

I heard the bugle this morning blast revelry

woke from a dream where I was in a terrible realm

All my sails were ablaze and I was chained to the helm

Now I'm overwhelmed, overwhelmed

Chorus (4x)
