Ashley Monroe - Orphan lyrics
[Ashley Monroe - Orphan lyrics]
How does a sparrow know more than I?
When it's mother is gone
It learns how to fly
With no direction, it's wings in the wind
How does a bird know more than I?
How does the winter know to hold on
When it's scared of it's shadow
And flowers are gone?
The leaves all lay sleepin'
Prayin' to hear spring-time songs
How does the winter know to hold on?
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble
And shake under you
How does an orphan find it's way home?
Reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
What keeps a river runnin' that way?
Is it slave to the ocean, a wild runaway?
Does it shed a tear
All who have drowned in it's wake?
What keeps a river runnin' that way?
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble
And shake under you
How does an orphan find it's way home?
Reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble
And shake under you
I am an orphan a long way from home
And I reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
How does a sparrow know more than I?
When it's mother is gone
It learns how to fly
When it's mother is gone
It learns how to fly
With no direction, it's wings in the wind
How does a bird know more than I?
How does the winter know to hold on
When it's scared of it's shadow
And flowers are gone?
The leaves all lay sleepin'
Prayin' to hear spring-time songs
How does the winter know to hold on?
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble
And shake under you
How does an orphan find it's way home?
Reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
What keeps a river runnin' that way?
Is it slave to the ocean, a wild runaway?
Does it shed a tear
All who have drowned in it's wake?
What keeps a river runnin' that way?
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble
And shake under you
How does an orphan find it's way home?
Reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble
And shake under you
I am an orphan a long way from home
And I reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
How does a sparrow know more than I?
When it's mother is gone
It learns how to fly
