At First She Starts Lyrics

First she starts and then she's startled.
I see that light in her eyes
Didn't you realise you were a bird,
At dawn when you woke with air in your throat.
So far doe-ray-me
Sing to me loudly,
Serenade me,
Mess with the melody.
Light and shade
All my eyes can see.
Oh but you are the phrase at the end of the bar,
a long high refrain.
Hanging around for the choir to strike sound,
So's you can holler your joy and your pain.

So far doe-ray-me
Sing to me loudly,
Serenade me,
Mess with the melody.
Light and shade
All my eyes can see.
First she starts and then she's startled.
I see that light in her eyes
Didn't you realise you were a bird,
At dawn when you woke with air in your throat.
At first she starts.
