Mockingbird, mockingbird
Why must you mock me
Mockingbird
Why must you sing
Your sorrowful tune
You sit on your perch
At the top of my mind
And mock my thoughts
Terrible echoes in my mind
Mockingbird, oh, mockingbird
Fly away from here
Leave my mind at peace
Mockingbird
Must you cry out
That terrible screech
And make my mind bleed
Mockingbird, mockingbird
Atop your perch
Can you see
Deep inside
And find my buried soul
Mockingbird, oh, mockingbird
Don't leave me now
Mockingbird!
Sing me one last tune
But make it a tune
A tune of hope
Oh, dear mockingbird!
Why did you leave
With the flutter of your wings
Mockingbird
Fly back here
To sit upon your perch
Mockingbird, oh, mockingbird
Sing your tune of sorrow
But don't leave
With nothing left but
Feathers in the air
Feather of a mockingbird
Oh my dear departed mockingbird
Don't leave me with
Silence
No echo returned
For my dear mockingbird
Is dead
And I killed it.
