There's a pain I cannot kill
And I guess I never will
Bluebird of love has knocked me down
Sang her songs then left town
Oh, the lady sang so sweet
Had the kids up on her feet
Playing the town hall she took her bow
Left me this letter I'm reading now
I was over the moon
But my poor heart came back soon
And there was only a rainbow left to see
Left to see
Oh, she said, it gets so tough
Airline schedules can be rough
Wanted to stay here and live with me
One more show and she was free
So I waited here at home
Played some Stills and got me stoned
And as I lay in that empty bed
Bluebird of love flew above my head
I was over the moon
But my poor heart came back soon
And there was only a rainbow left to see
Left to see
Stay with me, stay with me
Lay your head upon my shoulder
I was over the moon
But my poor heart came back soon
And there was only a rainbow left to see
Left to see
