Little red bird
Took flight and down my path you came
You know
Life doesn’t send many friends down my way
But you made a home and you stayed
Oh
Gotta wonder how life works out that way
Little red bird
You’re always singing your songs
Yeah but
Even the best of friends don’t always get along
Oh
But we stick together
And we do what it takes
To live through another season
Of loss, pain and heartbreak
Oh but
My little red bird
My little red bird
Oh
Chorus
When some fly off
Lord
Like they always do
Ain’t no avoiding this
It comes in like pulses
It’s comin’ for me and comin’ for you
Oh and
Then the rest fly off
God knows we expect ’em to
Cause we know
What it’s like to be alone
In the dead of Winter thru sunny June
Oh
They always fly off they always do
Not you
Little red bird
All your stories I’ll keep
And all these
Lessons learn people can’t teach
’Um
To pay any mind
And see the kindness in unfamiliar eyes
Oh
My little red bird
Wherever you’ve flown
Know in your heart
You can always call me home
Yeah
My little red bird
It’s your time to sleep
It’s time to sleep
Outro
When some fly off
Lord
Like they always do
Ain’t no avoiding this
It comes in like pulses
It’s comin for me and comin for you
Oh and
Then the rest fly off
God knows we expect ’em to
Cause we know
What it’s like to be alone
In the dead of Winter thru sunny June
Oh
They always fly off, they always do
They always do
