Saskamodie
by: MockyThe rain came to my tree top
And it washed away oh so many things
Things I couldn’t learn till I went through
Things I didn’t know till I met you
Now I’m learning the hard way
Learning the hard way
Learning the hard way
To be true
Now I’m learning the hard way
That birds of a father will rock together
And if we got a problem we’ll talk together
So let’s head down south just leave for fair weather
That birds of a father will rock together
And if we got a problem we’ll talk together
So let’s head down south just leave for fair weather
The rain came to my tree top
And it blew away so many things
High up in the breeze which we once flew
Flew me farther from the tree where I met you
Now I’m learning the hard way
Learning the hard way
Learning the hard way
To be true
Now I’m learning the hard way
That birds of a father will rock together
And if we got a problem we’ll talk together
So let’s head down south just leave for fair weather
That birds of a father will rock together
And if we got a problem we’ll talk together
So let’s head down south just leave for fair weather
Sun came to my tree top
The ? lean off everything
Shown a lot of something that was so true
And suddenly I knew I had to have you
Now I’m learning the hard way
Learning the hard way
Learning the hard way
To be true
Now I’m learning the hard way
That birds of a father will rock together
And if we got a problem we’ll talk together
So let’s head down south just leave for fair weather
That birds of a father will rock together
And if we got a problem we’ll talk together
So let’s head down south just leave for fair weather
