Bird Of The Summer

You came with the season

As the first swallow sang

A brown headed stranger

With a five-letter name

Doodoodoo doodoo doodoo

We planted our kisses

Where the wild berries grow

My feet sprouted wings

And i flew all the way home

Doodoodoo doodoo doodoo

My cheeks red like fire engines racing

Straight to the heat of your skin

And i know our days are numbered,

Early bird of the summer

You'll fly south just as the fall begins

The leaves changed their colors

And the schoolyards were filled

My coat with the patches

Barely keeps out the chill

Doodoo doodoo doodoo

You sent me a postcard

From a town out of state

I wish it were warmer

And i hope you're the same

Doodoo doodoo doodoo

The fields where we wandered were golden

Now only muddy my boots

And i know i should recover,

You're a bird of the summer,

I was wrong to try and capture you

Flight...

Flight...

And there's someone walkin

In the park, by the lake

Don't fly a gritter

But it won't fly away

Doodoodoo doodoo doodoo

Gone is the pale hand of winter

Here is the first flush of may

And soon I will discover

Whether birds of the summer

Fly in circles or just fly away
