Mama Robin

Mama Robin builds her nest on a drain pipe

With little sticks and twine she made it fit just right

She's gonna have some babies in the summertime

Feed them a bunch of bugs and teach them to fly yeah

Under cover of the gutter they sleep tight

Under mother's comfy covers

Through the stormy night

And the babies dream of bugs

And they sleep fine

While mother keeps them warm

And sings a lullaby yeah

Yeah

And there's a weight to love someone

You love more than yourself

Little bats in the tower wake me up and ring my bells

You're the birds and the bugs

And the rocks I find

In the corner of my house

Mama Robin wakes up just before the sunrise

Today's the day her babies are gonna learn to fly

She makes breakfast out of bugs

And wipes a tear from her eye

For her babies to be strong she's gotta say 'goodbye

Gimme everything you got

Okay

And there's a weight to love someone

You love more than yourself

Muddy feet now wear the boots

They can lace them up themselves

And that's how the story goes

And it happens all too soon

But that love goes on and on

And fills up all those empty rooms

Only echos in the halls

No more pencil on the walls

No more berries in the rugs

No more rocks

No more bugs

With little sticks and twine she made it fit just right
