A Bluebird

Down by the river where we used to go
I'll see a bluebird and then I'll know
'Cause all the stars in heaven could never make this work
And in the end we are bound to get hurt

I'll go down to that river 'till a bluebird comes out
I'll tell him the story and see if he flies south
She told me he was the signal of which I'd never doubt
And if he should fly don't he dare fly south

But don't you think it was about time we got together so I can show you my songs
And sing them to you the songs I've been hiding for too long
But I should know so much better than to ask you this
'Cause all the wine in my town could never bring us eternal bliss

And I'll look for that bluebird in whatever form he come
So that when I see him I know what must be done
I'll tell him the full story from beginning to end
Yeah I'll make sure he knows how it's made me bent

Down by the river where we used to go
I'll see a bluebird and then I'll know
'Cause all the stars in heaven could never make this work
And in the end we are bound to get hurt
