Lone Bird

Three o'clock in the afternoon

The ice has melted in my tea

But it still tastes just as sweet

Cause I know I get to see you soon

Another day of sun and shine

I let the laundry dry on the line

Picking stragglers from the sheets

Sneaking glances at the sky

I'm waiting

I'm waiting

I'm waiting

For your plane

Oooooo

Four o'clock rolls around

I try to keep myself busy

Trimming the azaleas

And pulling bluegrass from the ground

I hear the buzz of a bumble bee

I hear the call of a morning dove

But I keep my ear to the sky

Listening for your song

And I'm waiting

I'm waiting

I'm waiting

For your plane

Ooooooo

The river moves so slowly now

Since you flew away

A lonesome bird in a heavy sky

It's just a matter of time

Time

Time

I'm waiting

I'm waiting

I'm waiting

For your plane

Oooooo
