the words - anaïs mitchell lyrics
found what i’m not looking for
a melody as sweet and pure
as any one sung by the birds
i’m trying to find the words
see them perched all in a row
i prefer the window closed
i don’t like to be disturbed
trying to find the words
meanwhile the birds sing
meanwhile the church bells rings
meanwhile the children laughing
underneath the canopy
when you gave your hand to me
and you took my hand in yours
trying to find the words
did you know you’d share your bed
with these voices in my head?
did you know i’d toss and turn?
trying to find the words
and when you told mе you would take me
both in sickness and in hеalth
did you already know for better or for worse
that you would hold my body close
and find my mind was somewhere else?
sometimes my mind is somewhere
trying to find the words
meanwhile the birds sing
meanwhile the church bells rings
meanwhile the children laughing
penny for a child’s thoughts
can you tell me what it costs?
can you tell me what it’s worth?
trying to find the words
never mind you run and play
who needs pennies anyway?
outside it’s a sunny day
trying to find the words
meanwhile the birds sing
meanwhile the church bells rings
meanwhile the children laughing
trying to find the words
meanwhile the birds sing
meanwhile the church
meanwhile the laughter
