That Bird

People they can be so unkind If they're not happy If they can't speak their mind But unwind the needle just to find One more line, one more line People they got something to say They can be carried or be carried away But it takes bricks and mortar To speak your mind So keep putting 'em down, put 'em down That bird had song to sing Something to say Is it still here? Or has it flown away? Oh This morning it had something to say Is it still here? Or has it flown away? Well It reminds of a time where my memories fade Thoughts ain't sharp unless they're laid But if I can't remember Will I feel it again? All I need's a piece of paper and pen But you can take a photograph Or can you just be there Do you need to remember? Or can you just be there? If I kept my promise, would we still be friends? If I remembered would I feel it again? That bird had song to sing Something to say Is it still here? Or has it flown away? Oh This morning it had something to say Is it still here? Or has it flown away? Sometimes I question and I wonder Why I just can't say Anger can take your mind 'Til it's carried away But it's just not fair It don't make no sense But I wrote it down I wrote it down
