Pretty Bird

I wrote this song for the girl that I love 

She is locked away forever in the tower above.

And I got a lot of nothing, but I hope it’s enough

For my pretty bird to never fly away.

Shooting stars, wishes, glow in the dark.

She’s got bubblegum and glue when things are falling apart.

And she’s always safe and happy on a farm in my heart

Where my pretty bird will never fly away.

Passing time like water flows.

People come and people go.

Through the circle fast and slow,

People come and people go.

She tells me life should be simple and free

So you gotta’ try and be the change that you wanna’ see.

And  you’ll never grow a flower if you don’t plant a seed

Please, my pretty bird, don’t ever fly away.

So, when your worries are dragging you down

Try and breathe a little here and there and live in the now.

If you have a little patience everything will work out

And your pretty bird will never fly away.

Passing time like water flows.

People come and people go.

Through the circle fast and slow,

People come and people go.
