From the recording Stand the Fall
Lyrics
The Goldfinch Song
From the trees, outside my room
The Goldfinch sings a wistful tune
His silhouette framed by the moon
He always sings alone
Sometimes when I lie awake
Sometimes when I lie awake
Sometimes when I lie awake
I think of you
The house we built up on the hill
I get asked if I live there still
I just smile, and say I think I do
I’m sorry you can’t come inside
Sometimes when I lie awake
Sometimes when I lie awake at night
Sometimes when I lie awake
I think of you
Oh, I’m going to rise up one day
And know that it’s all going to be okay
An evening breeze blows through my room
I catch the smell of her sweet perfume
While the Goldfinch sings his wistful tune
I try not to sing along
Sometimes when I lie awake
Sometimes when I lie awake at night
Sometimes when I lie awake
I think of you
