Shuffling through the morning
 Bare-feet down the hall
 I must've left the windows open
 Cuz dear you don't belong here... at all
 You were bluer than the bluebirds
 I was hardly awake
 And you looked up from your perch on my chair back
 I thought "Isn't this so strange?
 So strange..."

 You sang baby we're all running from the same things
 You sang baby we're all running from the same things
 Broken hearts, broken homes, the tired, and the loneliness
 Broken hearts, broken homes, the tired and the lonely, loneliness

 And you stayed until the day sighed
 Itself back to sleep
 And I remember it exactly
 You were all feathers and a heartbeat
 Feathers and a heartbeat

 You sang baby we're all running from the same things
 You sang baby we're all running from the same things
 Broken hearts, broken homes, the past, and the loneliness
 Broken hearts, broken homes, the past and the lonely, loneliness

 Now I leave every door open
 Every window every shade
 In the hopes that little ghost bird
 Maybe he will come back... someday

 He sang baby we're all running from the same things
 He sang baby we're all running from the same things
 Broken hearts, broken homes, the tired, and the loneliness
 Broken hearts, broken homes, the tired and the lonely, loneliness.
