lyrics

The guitar bird

A little bird nested in my guitar
A little bird nested in my guitar
And I couldn’t play, I couldn’t play until the chicks all flew away
A swarm of bees hummed in side my guitar
A swarm of bees hummed inside my guitar
And I couldn’t play, I couldn’t play until I licked that honey away

And I was waiting for a song to come, I was waiting for a song.

Flower seeds fell into my guitar
Flower seeds fell into my guitar
And I couldn’t play, I couldn’t play until the petals blew away
The red sun set into my guitar
The red sun set into my guitar
And I couldn’t play, I couldn’t play until the moonlight stole away

And I was waiting for a song to come
I was waiting for a song….and here it comes.
