I Saw a Bird Fly Away Lyrics
by Dar Williams
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: F
I asked the habitual party goer
Just how high she thought she'd get
And I asked the ethereal girls
If they were floating yet
CHORUS:
And so I asked the light of the day
What's this rush for heaven
And I saw a bird fly away__
And I could not ask again
The tabloid tainted actress knows
The myth of higher ground
The thing she got from playing a nun
She got from sleeping around
CHORUS:
And so I asked the light of the day
What's this rush for heaven
And I saw a bird fly away__
And I could not ask again
He fell in the mud and
He became enlightened
I wonder who's laughing now
And I've been running uphill, panting
Punching at the air
Fighting what's been pushing me down
Like I can see it there
CHORUS:
And so I asked the light of the day
What's this rush for heaven
And I saw a bird fly away__
And I could not ask again
And I saw all this climbing, climbing
Just as far from heaven
And I saw a bird fly away__
And I started climbing again
OUTRO: (## fade to end ##)
Who's laughing now_____
He fell in the mud and
He became enlightened
