Birdie |
When my grandmother Bee was a girl she was told |
Of a towering elm 300 years old |
His branches were claws that pulled other trees down |
He had roots growing wild to the neighbouring town |
But his heart was as cruel as his looks would suggest |
Because deep in his bark was a nest |
Gonna write a letter to someone |
Gonna write it eloquently |
So when that someone gets it |
It’ll paint a picture for me |
Gonna paint them into the forest |
Under rain clouds heavy as lead |
And every leaf dead at their feet |
And every animal fled |
Fly away little birdie |
Fly away my friend |
Fly away little birdie |
I’ll get you in the end |
Gonna pull the night down from heaven |
And squeeze the light from the moon |
If he dare shine down on you |
I’ll pop him like a balloon |
Gonna flood your heart with a river |
And sail right into your soul |
And when I reach that blinding light |
I’ll paint it blacker than coal |
Fly away little birdie |
Fly away my friend |
Fly away little birdie |
I’ll get yooooouuu |
