Bird In a Tree

Bird in a tree, bird in a tree

What you doin' way up there?

Why do you sing, why do you sing?

Are you looking for your lady fair?

Did she fly away to another tree?

Do you know not where she hides?

All day you sing the same old song

She must be hard to find

Bird in a tree, bird in a tree

What's it like to be able to fly?

I figure if I had wings like you

Not a wasted day'd go by

I'd fly above the mountaintops

I'd do barrel-rolls and dives

I'd snack upon the wiggly worms

And be happy all my life

Bird in a tree, bird in a tree

What you doin' way up there?

Why do you sing, why do you sing?

Are you looking for your lady fair?

Did she leave you late in the summertime

After such a lovely spring?

Are afraid that come the winter

You'll be left in the cold and lonely?

Bird in a tree, bird in a tree

Who taught you to sing so well?

Do you know that I am listening?

Brother bird, can you even tell?

And though your love might be far away

Even another town

You sing your song all through the day

In case she comes around

Bird in a tree, bird in a tree

Oh, the Sun is getting wide

Soon the night will come

And the morning won't be for a while

So fare thee well, dear friend of mine

What a pleasure, I must say

We both should prob'ly get some sleep

Tomorrow's another day
