Bluebird - Nellie McKay

Bluebird

Bring back my happiness

And see me through

This clouded hour

Bluebird

On wings of loveliness

Carry me to a field

In flower

Thunder

Comes roaring up inside

I see a purple tide

And shadows weigh me

Bluebird

I wait with tenderness

So bring his love

To me

Bluebird

Bring back my loneliness

And see me through

This crowded hour

Bluebird

Where once was hopefulness

This heart has.

Culture

Carries me in its swell

I see the faces well

Too well for a dream

Bluebird

Bring back my happiness

Oh, bring his loving heart

To me
