The Robin's Nest Songtext
von Wendell Kimbrough

I don′t mind a lonely year or two
Especially if I'm hoping that the lonely will bear fruit
But give me half a childhood with a father like you
And I would spend a lifetime not knowing what to do


I can see that all the noise he makes
It is making him; the less you give the more he takes
Lessons from a child upon a throne
Where the empty stops, you don′t care, and I don't know

The Robin finds a corner for her nest
Where a mother's instincts for the safety find their rest
Working as a team of two they feed
Mouths crying out in a melody of need

The instincts of a tiny little brain
Anyone who′s listening knows they put your heart to shame
But I know you are not alone to blame
Cause I have seen your son; I don′t even know his name
