Strange Bird

Some birds fly south

Some birds stay at home

Some birds flock together

Some birds fly alone

There's been red headed, blond feathered, long legged birds I've come to know

And some have flown

Then there's those hell of a time birds

And just for tonight birds

Bring 'em pretty flowers and payed for by the hour

No, I'm not one for praying but there's one bird I'm waiting on

She's a strange bird

Strange bird

Somewhere up higher

She's singing on a wire for me

Oh, I've longed for other songs

Yes I've even hummed along

Played the field and even played the fool

Oh but somewhere all alone there's a bird that sings my song

She's wild and lonesome and blue

She's a strange bird

Strange bird

Somewhere up higher

She's singing on a wire for me

And she sings

She's a strange bird

Strange bird

Somewhere up higher

She's singing like a choir

Pretty on a wire for me
