blue feathers - mia stegner lyrics

Loading...

i fell in love with a bird
his song is beautiful
haven’t you heard?
i fell in love with a bird

my bird’s got a friend
her name is sue
my bird makes me crazy
but sue’s feathers are blue

my bird loves the ocean
my bird loves the sky
and my bird loves sue
more than he loves i

one day i flew up to my bird
i told him how i feel
i sang, “i think i accidentally fell in love with you.”
i sang, “i’ve trained my mind to think of you
when there’s nothing else to do.”
my bird said, “i love sue.”

a few days later, i hopped from my nest
i flew up to my bird. he said “give it a rest.”
i said, “name the thing you like most about sue.”
he said, “her feathers are blue.”

for a while i didn’t want to fly
i kept asking myself, “why?”
am i unlovable? am i too shy?
eventually, i kissed the thoughts goodbye

i thought, “maybe this isn’t the end for me
maybe if i fly all the way to the sea
and dip my feathers into the water
they’ll turn blue, and he will love me.”

so i spread my wings and ventured from home
i rode the wind all alone
i got to the ocean and stopped on the beach
i didn’t enjoy the sand or the heat

i got in the water, and a wave came down
it stung my eyes. i almost drowned

but my wings were drenched
did my plan work?
did my dreams come true?
but soon i realized, “this water won’t make me blue.”

the water made my wings heavy, and i could not fly home
night fell and i stood on the beach, crying all alone

i looked up and saw the sky was a beautiful dark blue
if my wings were that color, he’d surely forget about sue

so i flapped my wings until they dried, and i took off into the sky
maybe some color would rub off on me. it’s useless trying to sleep

hours later i dove to the ground, cold and tired of flying around
i glanced at my feathers with a bit of hope, but were they blue? no

all i wanted was blue feathers
desperate for answers, i searched for days in all weathers

jealous of the ocean, jealous of the sky
i wanted to be blue so badly i almost forgot why

eventually after walking for miles
i found some blue berries, and i smiled
i broke off a branch and rolled around in it
and when i was finished
my wings were spotted with blue
i’d get to be happy! he’d give up on sue!

completely excited, i tried to find my way home
i still felt a little lost, and a little scared, and i was all alone

finally, my nest came into view
i found my bird and said to him
“look! my wings are blue
now we can be together
and joy will be renewed.”

he said, “these are just berries. and i still love sue
these are just berries, and i’m sorry, but i’ll never love you.”

i fell in love with a bird
his song is beautiful
haven’t you heard?
i fell in love with a bird

my bird’s got a friend
her name is sue
my bird makes me crazy
but sue’s feathers are blue
