Wanted, Never Asked lyrics

Once a songbird caught me by surprise
With the strength of its singing
A bright call took flight, pierced the air
Like a lone bell a-ringing

What’s past is past
Wanted, never asked

I don’t expect to get a second chance
To choose my words as I mean to
But I’d take it all back, I was wrong
Now I know what you’ve been through

What’s past is past
Wanted, never asked

A songbird’s shadow upon the lawn
Lies in wait since you’re gone

Sun sure falls fast
No shadow cast
What’s past is past
Wanted, never asked
