Red Bird

Red bird right outside my window Wanting me to start another day Red bird right outside my window Red bird will up and fly away Leave me to a world of darkness Leave me to a world of night See, I was made for bound and determined You were made for thin air and flight I was made to mix the sand and gravel I was made to take more than I need And you were made to dance among the branches You were made to seek the fallen seed Leave me myself I need no cheerin' Leave me the ties that we both know I'll toil and I'll scratch out in the clearing And I'll have more time to see you in the fallen snow And there among the snow you will be lovely And it'll be you who is scratching on the land In my coat a flask of irish whiskey Waving green back dollars in my hand Yeah Red bird right outside my window She's telling me me to start another day Red bird right outside my window Red bird will up and fly away Red bird will up and fly away Red bird will up and fly away
