  • Take Courage, a bonus track from Andrew Bird's album Noble Beast (2009).
    Night's falling, so take courage
    that you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, so take courage
    that you're not alone, no you're not alone
    Then these words begin to crumble like the sidewalks
    all around this crumby neighborhood.
    And from the chalky Cliffs of Dover, I'd come over,
    I'd start over if I could.
    From the tropic of Cancer, to Capricorn,
    you're so far from you're so far along.
    Now you spin dirty laundry
    You dream of the kind of love you knew the day you're born
    Night's falling, so take courage
    that you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, so take courage
    that you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, night's falling,
    but you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    You swallow far from home
    It's how you find your room
    Though my words begin to crumble like the sidewalks
    all around this crumby neighborhood.
    And from these chalky Cliffs of Dover, I'd come over
    I'd start over if I could.
    Night's falling, night's falling,
    but you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, night's falling,
    but you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Take courage, take courage,
    that you're not along, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, night's falling,
    but you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Take courage, take courage,
    that you're not along, no you're not alone.

    When I was at my lowest point, this song saved me.
    Just now, as I caught myself in an anxious fervor, this tune wandered into my head and suddenly everything was alright.
    Thank you, Mr. Bird. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

      I understand you completely you. I lived in China for three years. Overall it was a very positive experience, but at times I would get incredibly homesick. This song really spoke to me whenever I remembered friends and family back home.

    Take Courage - Andrew Bird
    Night's falling, so take courage
    that you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, so take courage
    that you're not alone, no you're not alone
    Then these words become to crumble like the sidewalks
    all around this crumby neighborhood.
    And from the chalky Cliffs of Dover, I'd come over,
    I'd start over if I could.
    From the tropic of Cancer, to Capricorn,
    you so far from your sofa along.
    Now you spin dirty laundry
    You dream of the kind of love you knew the day you're born
    Night's falling, so take courage
    that you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, so take courage,
    that you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, night's falling,
    but you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    You swallow far from home
    It's how you find your room
    Though my words begin to crumble like the sidewalks
    all around this crumby neighborhood.
    And from these chalky Cliffs of Dover, I'd come over
    I'd start over if I could.
    Night's falling, night's falling,
    but you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, night's falling,
    but you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Take courage, take courage,
    that you're not along, no you're not alone.
    Night's falling, night's falling,
    but you're not alone, no you're not alone.
    Take courage, take courage,
    that you're not along, no you're not alone.
