Set The Songbird Free
By: Robin Tremble
From the CD:  Sirens


Introduction

You know you broke my heart-More than just one time
It doesn’t really matter-I feel the same inside
There must be something wrong-With a man like me
Why can’t I just let go-And set the songbird free 

Movement I 

I know you asked for time and I told you I’d stand by
You told me you had to find who you were; you asked for time
You took time away from me to spend alone, allegedly
I know that, you and he, spend the time you took from me

You must think I’m a fool 'cause I see you, beautiful
Loving him is so cruel. To think it’s me, I’m a fool
I’ve waited now for so long in memories, dreams and song
Denying truth, you are gone. What can I do? It’s been so long 

Movement II 

I don’t want to know girl what is going on
I can’t stand this waiting and wondering where you are
You say that you love me and you want to be
All the things you promised, then why do you hide from me
Whenever I’m longing to spend some time with you
You always turn away and say you love him too
"Give me the time I asked to find myself,
I’ll call you when I’m ready ‘til then sit on the shelf."
But time and time again I find that you’re with him
The truth is very simple, I’m a fool again
I wonder why you do this. Are you having fun
Are You having fun

Reprise 

You know you broke my heart-More than just one time
It doesn’t really matter-I feel the same inside
There must be something wrong-With a man like me
Why can’t I just let go-And set the songbird free 

Chorus

Set the songbird; Set the songbird
Set the songbird free
Set the songbird free
  (Repeated two times)

Movement III 

I just can’t seem to let it go, You know I’m holding on
The muse, the mystery of her in my soul – agony 

Chorus

Set the songbird; Set the songbird
Set the songbird free
Set the songbird free
 

Painfully I take each step towards letting go
But the ghost inside me let’s me know, it won’t let go

Chorus

Set the songbird; Set the songbird
Set the songbird free
Set the songbird free
