Lyrics
spoken word
Shh... listen.
Verse
Mr. Finch ties his shoes at dawn
Library shelves stand bare and worn
Neon sign blinks tired and red
He marks the day in his dusty head
Chorus
A little bird came to the desk
Peckin' at crumbs like it knew the test
Sang a tiny doo-wop trill
Mr. Finch hummed back until
Verse
Wind spins old paper on the floor
He stamps the date on the silent door
Sparrow hops on a broken chair
They share one note in the dusty air
Chorus
A little bird came to the desk
Peckin' at crumbs like it knew the test
Sang a tiny doo-wop trill
Mr. Finch hummed back until
Bridge
Town is hollow as a shell
But one voice rings clear as a bell
Two voices echo, hall to hall
The empty street won't forget at all
Chorus
A little bird came to the desk
Peckin' at crumbs like it knew the test
Sang a tiny doo-wop trill
Mr. Finch hummed back until
Outro, whispered
Someone's listenin'.
