Red Bird

A red bird was singing

About another time

Softer than a daydream

On a summer mind

She flew out of a rainstorm

Darker than the night

Against her long coat rested

Stories from her life

And red bird, don't get tired now

You can almost touch the light

Red bird, don't stop singing your song

Fly for tomorrow tonight

Sorry for the lies

Sorry doesn't do

She broke her wings just trying

To get through to you

But if there's only time

I'll give her some of mine

It'll take more than a phone call

To get her feeling fine

Red bird, don't get tired now

You can almost touch the light

Red bird, don't stop singing your song

Fly for tomorrow

Red bird, don't get tired now

You can almost touch the light

Red bird, don't stop singing your song

Fly for tomorrow tonight

And how does it feel

To take her from the sky

I pray you're out there sleeping

When it's time for a bird to fly

When it's time for a bird to fly
