Thread Name: Lyr Req: Like a Songbird That Has Fallen
Subject: 'Like/As a Songbird' Lyrics help please
Needing a bit of help for the Mudcat gurus....this song is from Cold Mountain. The lyrics come up on the web, but don't match exactly to what I hear. Trouble is that what I hear isn't clear. Could someone help me - especially with the last line of the chorus - pretty please?


Paths are there for us to follow, this is gospel I believe
Angels are around us flying, truth and mercy to recieve
Pictures of uncommon nature, painted by a masters hand
Draw me ever on life's journey, rendered thus to understand

Chorus:
As a songbird that is/has? fallen, only to regain the sky,
from this frozen shadow valley * lay my weary head ??? *

Love is from no distance calling, faithful as the rising sun
Warms the bitter heart and heartache till the east of eden's gone
Clouds of fear and misconception, wax and wane as if the moon
So is in a sense forsaken, till the will of God be known

As a songbird that is fallen, only to regain the sky,
from this frozen shadow valley lay my weary head

Thanks!
