Lyrics: Little Birdy
Album: Murder, Misery And Then Goodnight
Artist: Kristin Hersh
 

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
