Bluebird

Ah---
Ah---

I put balm on the fragile arm
Of a broken childhood dream
I could hear a far-off sound
With an endless melody

It doesn't care for what I've done
Or demand all that I've got
For in it's effervescent hum
Is everything I've known

I'm not here to try and change you
No, I'm not here to to be the way out

I know you try to have those words
The words that show you're weak
There's nothing you could say
That's gonna make me turn and leave

So forget about the work you've done
It never meant that much to me
Because you could work a thousand nights
For something that is free

I'm not here to try to change you
No, I'm not here to to be the way out

But there's a bluebird in the branches
There's nothing you could do to change that

Ah---
It's gonna keep up singing when we can't hear it's tune
Ah---
It's gonna keep on flying when it's out of our view
Ah---
It doesn't need permission to be the color blue
Ah---
And if our dreams should fail us, it's gonna carry us through

I'm not here to try to change you
(It's gonna keep up singing when we can't hear it's tune)
No, I'm not here to to be the way out
(It's gonna keep on flying when it's out of our view)
But there's a bluebird in the branches
(It doesn't need permission to be the color blue)
There's nothing you could do to change that
(And if our dreams should fail us, it's gonna carry us through)

Ah---
