Little Bird

Go down

Band is on the run

You're my little one

Waiting in the wings

So I whisper in your ear

Let's get away from here

When the day is done

I hear who'll wait

Without some day

Steady cause that day will come



Now my little bird

Get along

You're the heart of these songs

And when it rains so hard

I let it open up the stars

And you can climb

All the trees

Tell the world what you can see

Cause you can see so far



I listen to all the very young

Turn around they're gone

Seems so suddenly

And kindred hearts will never age

The singer on this stage

Wanting to go home

I can hear that slow way

Without sometime

Following the things you've done

But you know for now

There's a scene that keeps bothering me

When you're asleep at night

And it's quiet and it's right

And then you're grown

And you're gone

Like a bird from my arms

And when I wake and see

That you're down there fast asleep



Now my little bird

Get along

You're the heart of these songs

And when it rains so hard

I let it open up the stars

And you can climb

All the trees

Tell the world what you can see

Cause you can see so far



Now that's a way off

It's like the summer's on the run

It's like the rain keeps coming on

But we're not there yet

Cause you're fast asleep

Ooooooo
