Pat Hardy - For Whom Does the Bluebird Weep? Lyrics

Just let me talk, so I won't have to say
Say what I'm really thinking of
'Til with pain and dread I go off to bed
Trust you me, you don't want to feel what I feel
So I'll try and keep it down
But I hear it so loud while I sleep
For whom does the bluebird weep?

If I keep talking my heart will jump out
Jump out right through my throat
I want you to have it, but I don't want to cry
So watch me as I struggle with all of my strength
To be who you want me to be
Because I don't want to lose the light in your eyes
For whom does the bluebird cry?

You sent me a letter to say what you mean
The letters that mean what you say
A poem would land my head in the oven
But you closed it with lines that brought me to tears
"Things aren't too great here as well
And you in my prayers I will keep"
For whom does the bluebird weep?
For whom does the bluebird weep?

For whom do you cry?
For whom do I weep?
For whom does the bluebird weep?
