Jared Anderson - Canary Lyrics

Little yellow bird in a little black cage
In the bottom of a coal mine singing its name
Wings covered with dust cause it can't fly
But as long as its singing, I know we're alive

It's comforting but its a warning sign
Cause love can't grow where the sun don't shine
The deeper I dig the more I rely
On a little yellow bird dying to fly

Canary won't you sing to me
Carry my love on your melody
Lately it's been hard to breathe
And if the song don't sing then it's time to leave
It's the end of you and me

We were two fools rushing, going for gold
But it didn't take long till we settled for coal
We were digging in the dirt, just to bury our doubt
But do you do when it all runs out?

Canary won't you sing to me
Carry my love on your melody
Lately it's been hard to breathe
If the song don't sing then it's time to leave
It's the end of you and me
So sing to me

Canary I can't hear a sound
I'm trying to climb out from the underground
It's much too late to give up now
But if it's running on out, what can you do
Running on empty, breathing in fumes
If the song don't sing then it's time to leave
It's the end of you and me

Little yellow bird never got to fly
But its pretty little song got us out on time
