Kristin Hersh - Little Birdy lyrics

Little birdy, little birdy What makes you fly so high? It's because i am a birdy And i'm not afraid to die Little birdy, little birdy Come sing me your song I've a short time to be here with you And a long time, to be gone Little birdy, little birdy What makes your wing so blue? It's because i've been a-grievin' Grievin' after you Little birdy, little birdy Come sing me your song I've a short time to be here with you And a long time, to be gone Little birdy, little birdy What makes your head so red? After all that i have been through It's a wonder i ain't dead Little birdy, little birdy Come sing me your song I've a short time to be here with you And a long time, to be gone
