Little Bird

Little Bird, I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again
You had somewhere to go
No following you there
So fly on

I’ve been falling so fast
The ground is nowhere
All these stories to tell
Now you’re not here to share
Fly on

Oh come stay in love’s fortress
Show me heaven’s gates
We’ll be safe inside these moments
Outside the world can wait

If my window’s grown cold
Perch on my shoulder and sing
One more morning song
Before you spread your red wings
And fly on

Stay one more night in love’s fortress
Show me heaven’s gates
We’ll be warm inside these moments
We can will the winter to wait
For I’m a fragile man; sad words and six strings
It’s not easy to tell the world you’re lonely
When no one is listening

Little Bird, I don’t know if I’ll ever see you again
But, if I catch you riding the same wind
I hope you recognize a friend
And fly on
