Birds versuri

Versuri David Olney – Birds lyrics

Oh, the Maryland thrush by the Chesapeake Bay
Sings through the night and never by day
She sings to the stars, she sings to the moon
She sings just to sing for the love of the tune

The lowlands are known for the brown speckled wren
If she trusts you, she’ll fly up and perch on your hand
She’ll sing you to sleep, she’ll watch while you dream
She’s the prettiest bird I ever have seen

Oh, the white-tailed swallow has a beautiful song
She sings it so sweet and she sings it so strong
And all through the spring, the summer and fall
She waits for another to answer her call

The Cumberland bluebird lives in these hills
The sound of her song, it can give you the chills
The high notes are harsh, the low notes are true
High, low and lonesome, the song’s always blue

The Canadian owl lets out a screech
She’s angry that heaven is just out of reach
In circles she soars till the air gets too thin
In sorrow she’s forced to fly home again

Whenever you hear a North Georgia dove
You think of the past and your first taste of love
You ache with a longing to rise up and fly
With the sweet bird of youth through a crystal blue sky
