Emmylou Harris Little Bird Lyrics

Little Bird Lyrics

If I had a bird, a little bird

I would teach that bird to sing your name

Prettiest song that you have ever heard

And your indifferent heart I will claim



So be off, my little bird

Fly away, fly away and when my love you see

Only then, my little bird

Cry away, cry away and bring that heart to me



If I had a moon in the sky

I would light the world and pull the tide

And when the moon is full like my heart

It will surely pull you to my side



But in the darkest night I pine

Pine away, pine away until your face I see

So throw your light my lovely moon

Shine away, shine away and pull his heart to me



If I had a wagon made of gold

Pretty painted horses numbered four

With a silver harness I would hitch them up

And drive that wagon to your door



And if my hand you choose to hold

Ride away, ride away with the pretty horses four

Darlin' if you heart's still cold

Hide away, hide away, I'll trouble you no more



Trouble you no more
