Bird never flies lyrics - The Jayhawks song

How can I turn away from your gun
How can I stay here where others would run
And cast the blame
Fan a dying flame

All of my secrets breathe life to my lies
All of my thoughts like the ocean they slide
Along the edge
They linger on the banks
In search of a refuge

Darling don't cry (I won't give you up)
Don't you know why (I won't give you up)
This bird never flies (Bird never flies)

There's night at the end of this heavenless day
There's night at the end that will show me a way
I tell myself
We may still be saved

Darling don't cry (I won't give you up)
Don't you know why (I won't give you up)
This bird never flies (Bird never flies)

Darling don't cry
Don't you know why
This bird never flies

Darling don't cry (I won't give you up)
Don't you know why (I won't give you up)
This bird never flies (Bird never flies)

I won't give you up
I won't give you up
I won't give you up
