Lyrics If You Were a Bluebird - Emmylou Harris

If You Were a Bluebird

If you were a bluebird, honey, you’d be a sad one
I’d give you a true word but you’ve already had one
If you were a bluebird, you’d be crying
You’d be flying home
If you were a raindrop, you’d shine like a rainbow
And if you were a train stop, the conductor would sing low
If you were a raindrop, you’d be falling
You’d be calling home
If you were a hotel, honey, you’d be a grand one
But, if you hit a slow spell, do you think you could stand one?
If you were a hotel, I’d lean on your doorbell
I’d call you my home
If I was a highway, I’d stretch alongside you
I’d help you pass by ways that had dissatisfied you
If I was a highway, I’d be stretchin'
I’d be fetchin' you home
If you were a bluebird, honey, you’d be a sad one
I’d give you a true word but you’ve already had one
If you were a bluebird, you’d be crying
You’d be flying home
