Lyrics
There's a bluebird in my mind, sitting still, still alive
There's a bluebird in my mind, not dead, cast aside
There's a bluebird in my head
I like to kiss it gently at night when no one can see me
There's a bluebird in my head
But it never becomes me
When I was young my father said
"Don't cry, be a man"
When I was young my father said
Nothing at all, we don't talk about these things
But when he saw his daughter cry
He wiped the tears from her eyes
Father, mother, daughter, mother, daughter, father
What kind of man am I?
There's a bluebird in my soul
He keeps me from growing far too old for my age
There's a bluebird in my soul
Flickering under the black coals
Oh, oh - oh, oh
There's a book on my nightstand
Full of poetry that I read to my bird
He likes to listen to the gentle words
But he's never heard (never, never, never, never heard)
There's a bluebird in the sky
Taking me to new heights
There's a bluebird falling down
He lays beside me in the ground
Oh, father daughter father daughter mother
I hope you read this letter
Oh, father daughter mother father
I hope you understand
There's a bluebird in my chest
I was too weak for his song
I could never be a man
So I couldn't be (at all)
