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
