lyrics

The song she sings keeps all the sparrows in tune, The wind keeps time on the birch leaves
And when she cries the clouds all start to weep too, she wears the world like a mood ring

Without her smile I’d have no laughter in life, Without her touch I can’t feel
Without her light I might as well just be blind, Without her how can I heal

The honey bees don’t know a fragrance as sweet, There ain’t no prettier flower
When she walks by the sun rays they all compete, but they just can’t match her power

Without her smile I’d have no laughter in life, Without her touch I can’t feel
Without her light I might as well just be blind, Without her how can I heal

Bridge
I can’t even go outside, mother nature makes me want to hide
From all the signs and constant reminders of everything I lost in life
Maybe if I woulda swallowed my pride, maybe I wouldn’t be losing my mind
Maybe I deserve to take this ride on this self inflicted landslide

The air she breathes holds on as long as it can, wishing to stay there forever
When she exhales it back to where it began, it turns it’s wrath on the weather

Without her smile I’d have no laughter in life, Without her touch I can’t feel
Without her light I might as well just be blind, Without her how can I heal
I just don’t know how to heal
