Kristin Hersh - Little Birdy lyrics

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
