Sade – Morning Bird Lyrics

Sade · Soldier of Love

Jazz

How could you? You are the river
Pour out of this life
How could you? You are the morning bird
Who sang me into life every day, fly away

You are the blood of me
The harvest of my dreams
There's nowhere I can find peace
And the silence won't cease

Nothing's quite how it seems
The ghost of my joy won't let me be
If you set me free I will not run
I will not run, I will not run

One of my favourite song ever! So beautiful,so deep,so spiritual! For me it is a song of devotion, a song of longing to God, to Buddha, whatever we call it : to the ultimate truth. M.

@Anonymous I don't understand, did you have a change of heart regarding the song and its meaning?

I LOVE this song too. Its one of my favorites on the CD. The poetry is exquisite. When I hear the words, I think of a song written about handling grief, perhaps a lost parent or a child. The grief is so heavy and in the end asking for peace to move past. The song is profound...
